CITIZENSHIP by investment

Dominica

Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, Dominica is renowned for its lush rainforests, volcanic peaks, and pristine natural beauty. A stable and peaceful nation, Dominica introduced its Citizenship by Investment Program in 1993 to attract foreign investment and drive national development. As a member of the Commonwealth and several major international organizations, Dominica offers global connectivity and a respected second citizenship option for investors seeking both security and opportunity.

Limitless Opportunities

The Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program is one of the longest-running and most reputable programs in the Caribbean. Designed to support national development, it offers individuals and families a straightforward path to second citizenship through a government donation or real estate investment—without the need to reside in the country, and allows successful applicants to pass citizenship on to future generations, ensuring long-term advantages for your family.
