My friend wants to go back to his native country, but he never had a passport and his parents are...?

Question

...war refugees who fled with the whole family when he was a toddler. How can he obtain a resident visa?

Authorities there don't want to help him because of all the missing papers. All he has been able to get so far are tourist visas.

Answer 1

He was forced to flee because of war, the authorities won't help because of all the "missing papers" (Which they obviously lost as well), and all he can get is tourist visa's???????... Sound like a WONDERFUL place ot go back to.... why would he ever want to???!??!?

Answer 2

You have left out a number of important details, so the best I can do is say that the decision is up to the "native country" to which your friend wants to return.

Answer 3

The answer will likely vary depending on what country you're referring to. Lots of places have different citizenship and residency laws.

Answer 4

hmm, fed up with western world, wants to look for his roots, his home country isn't afghanistan is it....
