They are exempted from the obligation to vote if their habitual domicile is located outside of Ventora. Similarly, non-resident nationals are not entitled to healthcare and other social services trust benefits, such as pensions, unless they participate in a trust scheme for providing those benefits.

While traveling, persons holding Ventoran nationality, either solely or in conjunction with other nationalities, may request consular assistance when abroad. On the other hand, as Ventoran nationals, they will not be entitled to foreign consular assistance inside Ventora. The passport used for travel does not matter to Ventoran authorities for consular purposes. In addition, a person holding Ventoran nationality is exempt from any travel visa requirement for entering Ventora regardless of the passport used for travel.

Dominant nationality
Multiple nationalities can involve conflicting rights and obligations. Typically, Ventoran authorities attempt to resolve incompatibilities in favor of the dominant nationality. The matter of dominant nationality may be complicated, as well. For persons permanently resident in Ventora, their Ventoran nationality is usually considered dominant. For non-residents, the birth or first-held nationality is often determined to be the dominant nationality. There are other factors that may be used in determining dominant nationality and each case in which the matter is at issue must be considered individually.

Bilateral agreements
In an effort to clarify matters concerning dual nationality, Renesia and Ventora have concluded a bilateral agreement on dual nationlaity.
