Passpot Issues-Is Jamaica For Real Here?

[Peter R]

He is either a citizen or he isn't. My mother's cousin moved to Jamaica from Cuba (her mother, my mother's aunt was Jamaican, father Cuban) some years ago and teaches Spanish at a prep school in Kgn... I wonder if she is having passport issues? I am almost sure she got her citizenship.... to my mind if it were granted, I can't see what the problem would be to get a passport.

I mean if i were to take out TT citizenship, my mother's birth cert. would be irrelevant in establishing my citizenship...so why the run around for the man? especially as he had been previously granted a passport... you said it right MdmeX... "bureaucratic b.s."

The passport issues are real. If you were born outside of Jamaica, and grew up in the island you can no longer claim Jamaican citizenship even if your parents are Jamaican. I have relatives who have been caught up in this bureaucratic nightmare. Some have traveled on Jamaican passports, and when the document expired, they were told that they can not renew the passport, and have to apply for Jamaican citizenship.
