Client story
Client's story
Where they started
The applicant wanted not only his spouse and children to obtain a second passport, but also his brothers and sisters. For him, family is a broad concept, and he did not want to leave his siblings aside.
Why the standard route did not work
The difficulty is that most investment citizenship programs define "family" as only the spouse and children, sometimes parents—while siblings are almost nowhere included in this category. The applicant was concerned that his relatives would not be able to be included here either.
What BRIDGES had to solve
However, the Dominica program is known for having a particularly broad family composition: in addition to spouse, children, and parents, it permits the inclusion of the applicant's siblings subject to program conditions—such as dependency and other status requirements. This is a rare opportunity to secure a second passport for a truly extended family.
Why a standard answer would not do
At BRIDGES, the applicant came to implement this carefully: to confirm that the siblings meet the program conditions and to include them in the application, thereby establishing Dominica citizenship for an extended family.
I wanted the passport not only for myself, my wife, and children, but also for my brothers and sisters—family means a lot to me. I thought they definitely could not be included, as in other programs. Anna explained that Dominica is one of the few that permits the applicant's siblings subject to meeting the conditions. We confirmed everything required and included them in the application. As a result, both brothers and sisters obtained passports. A rare opportunity to bring together such an extended family under one status.
