Mods, I am aware there is already a thread about this but please allow this post to remain.
My partner and I are British, my daughter (3 years old) is too although born in Santiago. We all hold British Passports. My daughter has travelled to the UK and DR with us 4-5 times.
My partner and daughter went to the DR in April and want to return to the UK in the next week. Our attorney has told my partner I need to visit the Dominican Consul in London, get a Consular Power of Attorney, complete and send via FEDEX to Santo Domingo where it can be stamped and only then will they be allowed to leave. He said the law has recently changed.
My partner has had the Attorney produce a letter for her in the past (when I was in the UK) that was adequate for them to leave (they were not even questioned about this at the airport POP).
Has anyone else had to deal with this matter recently? Any reliable info would really help.
Many thanks in advance.
