Client's Story
Where they started
The applicant wished to obtain Grenada citizenship not only for himself but also for his younger brother, whom he largely supported as a dependent. It was important to him to not exclude his brother, granting him the same mobility and security as himself.
Why the standard route did not work
The challenge lay in the fact that siblings are rarely included in the definition of "family" for investment citizenship programs. Most programs are limited to spouse and children, and sometimes parents. The applicant feared that his younger brother would not be eligible for inclusion here either.
What BRIDGES had to solve
However, Grenada's program is known for a broader definition of family and, when conditions are met, permits inclusion of the applicant's brother or sister—subject to requirements regarding their age and dependent status. The younger brother supported by the applicant met these conditions, presenting a rare opportunity to include him in the application.
Why a standard answer would not do
The applicant came to BRIDGES to implement this carefully: to confirm that his younger brother meets the program requirements and to include him in the application, obtaining Grenada citizenship for both himself and his brother.
I wanted a passport not only for myself but also for my younger brother—I support him as a dependent and did not want to exclude him. I thought including my brother would be impossible, as with other programs. Anna explained that Grenada is one of the few programs that permits brothers and sisters when conditions are met. We confirmed that my brother meets the requirements, included him in the application. In the end, we both received our passports. A rare opportunity to provide for my brother through citizenship.
