The Myeong Commonwealth invites individuals from all corners of the world to join a unique spiritual and intellectual confederation of peoples journeying toward sagehood and leading flourishing lives in line with the timeless wisdom of the Confucian Religion.

Before applying for spiritual citizenship, we encourage all prospective citizens to explore the foundations of the Myeong Commonwealth. To understand our confederation fully, take the time to read through our Overview, Mission, FAQ and History pages. Before you proceed with your application, please be aware of the following requirements and limitations:

• Age Requirement: Applicants must be at least 18 years old.

• Understanding the Myeong Commonwealth’s Status: The Myeong Commonwealth is a global suzerainty and not a sovereign nation-state. Physical relocation, in-person tourism, seeking asylum, or starting an offline business in the Myeong Commonwealth are not feasible.

• Spiritual Citizenship Status: Myeong spiritual citizenship is voluntary and does not replace your citizenship in any UN member state.

• No Travel Documents: The Myeong Commonwealth does not issue passports or travel documents.

• Sincere Interest: Applicants should exhibit a sincere interest in participating in Myeong activities and not apply simply because they were prompted by a friend or an acquaintance: (1) Humans enjoy dignity from conception to natural death; (2) freedom of conscience is a sacred right of human beings; (3) there exists an universal and objective moral order, regardless of moral disagreements between people; (4) government involvement in people's lives should be severely limited and must never usurp the roles and functions of the family; (5) parliamentary democracy combined with constitutional monarchy is deserving of defence and preservation; (6) fundamental rights and freedoms should be safeguarded under the rule of virtue and of law.

• Processing Time: Spiritual citizenship applications may take the Home Office weeks to process. Your patience is appreciated.  Once you have familiarised yourself with the Myeong Commonwealth’s history, principles, and identity and you meet the above requirements, you’re ready to begin your journey toward spiritual citizenship. Please fill out the Spiritual Citizenship Application Form below, providing accurate and honest information. 

• Spiritual citizens enjoy all rights and freedoms outlined in Article II of the Constitution, except the right to vote or hold public office. This status allows individuals to participate fully in our spiritual and cultural community without altering their obligations to their home nations.

• Without clear written authorisation from the Prime Minister, no spiritual citizen may act, or appear to act, in the name of the Myeong Commonwealth or any of its public authorities, for instance, by claiming to be a Myeong ambassador. To do so constitutes a grave offence and results in the ipso facto automatic invalidation of spiritual citizenship.
