Client's Story
Where they started
The family wanted a second passport not only for themselves and their children, but also for the senior generation—grandparents. For them, it was important that the status cover the entire extended family, rather than being fragmented and leaving the elderly excluded.
Why the standard route did not work
Many investment citizenship programs limit family composition and do not allow grandparents at all. The family was concerned they would encounter the same restriction here. However, the Dominica program is known for its broad family composition: in addition to spouses and children, it permits the inclusion of dependent parents and grandparents aged 55 and above.
What BRIDGES had to solve
The condition for such inclusion is clear: grandparents must be financially dependent on the applicant. That is, the right is broad, but it relies on proven financial dependency of the senior generation.
Why a standard answer would not do
At BRIDGES, the family came to properly cover three generations: prove the financial dependency of grandparents and include them in the application together with children, obtaining Dominica citizenship for the entire extended family.
We wanted everyone to have a passport—ourselves, our children, and our parents, grandparents and grandparents. We were concerned that the elderly would not be included, as often happens. Anna was reassuring: Dominica allows grandparents aged 55 and above as dependents. We confirmed their dependency, included them in the application. As a result, all three generations received passports. For our family, it was important not to exclude the elderly.
