The major method still lacking is entry reference codes for each scenario. It's super simple. All with certain codes apply using X form.

Suggestion:
1. Born anywhere to a Bahamian parent who is not a naturalized bahamian ? Born Bahamian .
2. Born locally or brought with a parent as a minor during their status? Reside during the parent's status.
3. Been here for 15 yrs? Eligible for paths to different statuses.
4. Minor born locally to illegal parents with currently no status ,or is a minor and the parent's status is up? Go home with Ma n Pa unless at a critical point in school.

Do these not cover anyone?

1. Covers kids with 1 Bahamian parent who's mom used a foreign hospital but came back. Can have a limit for those born out of state beyond the grandchild like Barbados. Con is needing cut offs and difficulty differentiating natural born from naturalized.
2. Covers gen 3 immigrants and MINORS born anywhere to naturalized Bahamians before naturalization of which the naturalized parents may apply for their minor's citizenship.
3. Covers residents, backlog adults of illegal parents, and adult children born locally to naturalized Bahamians who's parents didn't apply when they were minors.

Which is why their kids can't be automatic citizens.

Can't make make good grades afraid.

As much as he tries to call the two the same category, they are not. Half of one is already natural born Bahamians , they're just currently restricted to married male's offspring.

You're saying they'd already have permanent residency but still have to get renewable 10 yr belonger's permits? What's the difference and who would bother with getting a belonger's if you're permanent?

Confused on this part.

I hope "right to abode" is based on the foreign parent's status and not the child being born in the country , because if not, you're then attaching parents to kids born on vacation/ right off the sloop. Instant 10 yrs for them when they should be going back with their parents instead of creating more ties setting down anchors? The parents are going to think they can stay in the country with the kid who has rights to reside. Right to abide should end for minors when the parents permit does. They can get waivers/ visas for stay extensions to not interfere with their education tracks depending on whether they're at a critical point or been their for long. Like allowing dreamers to finish high school.

Spain props up Maduro and the EU created a system to bypass Russian sanctions.

Let them have a cay for the trash. Can export our trash to China like the US does.

Push the storm roofs before next season. Like the one Cable Bahamas Freeport has. Don't build a single gov't building or charity house with the old style. Don't expect EU green funding if not. Survey the islands hit by Irma and Maria's cat 5 winds (not FL) to find which roofs sustained the most. Can't be one or two testimonials.

Manholes, escape hatches, and raised foundations. Remedy the flood-prone zones.

Divert the recyclables away from the dump allowing the construction field to use them instead of complaining about pre-fab imports.

There's only one reason why you would push for tourists and not care about the product. Care about the product. Start with safety, cleanliness and beautification second.
