Ask the Consul

I Want to Travel during the Summer with my Grandkids.  Is this Possible?

During the summer months many Dominicans want to travel and take advantage of the school break.  Summer vacations may involve grandparents attempting to take their grandkids to the U.S. or other family members wanting to travel with the kids.  Visa applicants will find it very difficult to convince a Consular Officer of a child’s eligibility for a visa if the parents of the children do not have visas.  More often than not, a Consular Officer will use as criteria for his or her decision the fact of whether or not the parents have visas and good travel.  One of the purposes of issuing tourists visas to children is to allow them to continue the good travel habits established by their parents.
