I have two children, both born in the Dominican Republic, to foreign parents who have Dominican residency. They both have Dominican birth certificates and British passports which state place of birth as Dominican Republic, so when we travel with them, they never have to buy a tourist card or pay any overstay fees as we just point that out in their passport, explain they are born here, and never have any issue what so ever.
My question... do my daughters need to apply for residency? naturalization? leave it as it is since it is not an issue but may not be completely legally correct to do nothing? No need to do anything until over 18? Nothing needed now or even after 18+?
I know there won't be loads of people in this situation with neither parent being Dominican and the kids being born here, but hoping someone out there can help. I know there would be Haitians born here to both non-Dominican parents, but maybe not parents with residency so perhaps a bit different?
Thanks very much!
