Hello all,
I am after some advise re: a Dominican visiting England for a 2 week holiday. Before assumptions are made let me explain...
My family built a house in Estancia Puerto Plata, 8 years ago. We also have land in La Romana & property in Santa Domingo. We have been very lucky and made some wounderful friends, and manage to split our time nicely between Republica Dominicana an England, as my father has a lot of buisness in the city.
Sadly a close friend of ours, was killed in a motorbike accident last month leaving behind his wife, children and unborn baby. We are close to the family and have been for many years. However, the eldest son (19) has had to abandon 'teenage years' and take on the role of looking after the family.
As a release, a way of fullfilling a dream his father had for him, we want to give him the oppurtunity of coming to England for 2/3weeks. The family are very much our family, and we understand the heart break they are going through and figure the best way to help them is to help the eldest son having to lead the other children.
PROBLEM... He doesn't have a passport or a visa. However, i have read about sponsers, as we have funds in banks over there and here and several properties we can prove that we have the funds to support his stay. His mother is a lutenant, and works in Puerto Plata, and the family have a stable family home, which he will return to. We are also good friends with Pedro, who owns a construction company who will support his visit.
Please can you give me any advice, information or anything you think may help. Thank you, i appreciate all your support.
Thanks again :cheeky:
