A citizenship programme built on three decades of reliability

Dominica's citizenship by investment programme, established in 1993, is one of the Caribbean's most trusted. Investment options include a non-refundable contribution to the government's Economic Diversification Fund or a qualifying real estate purchase — the latter structured to also generate a return on your investment.

The island offers volcanic peaks, lush forests, fresh-water lakes, and an unspoiled coastline that draws over 200,000 eco-tourists annually. For passport holders, Dominica provides a stable, low-tax base with genuine global mobility.
