Popis: In this work, we scrutinize the consistency of spacetime homogeneous G\"{o}del-type metrics within $f(R,Q,P)$ theories of gravity for well-motivated matter sources. As it is well known, such geometries allow for causality violation. We provide general conditions to engender completely causal solutions in a manner completely different from general relativity. We take some specific models, for instance, $f(R,Q,P)=R -\dfrac{\mu^{4n+2}}{\left(a R^2+b Q+c P\right)^n}$, to illustrate the general results. Notably, we also find an unusual completely causal vacuum solution in the presence of a non-trivial cosmological constant which corresponds to the case $m^2=4\omega^2$.
