Citizenship of the Commonwealth of Dominica

Known as the Nature Island for its lush landscapes and unspoiled natural beauty, the Commonwealth of Dominica is one of the Caribbean’s most stunning destinations. With pristine beaches, tropical rainforests, waterfalls, mountains, and world-class hiking and diving, Dominica also offers one of the most reputable Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs worldwide.

Since 1993, Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Program has provided a transparent, affordable, and efficient route to second citizenship. Investors who meet the requirements and contribute to Dominica’s development can qualify for citizenship and obtain a Dominican passport, subject to strict due diligence checks.
