DOMINICA CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT

The Dominica citizenship by investment program has been running since 1993, and it is one of the oldest passport programs. The Dominica CBI is the most popular second citizenship scheme, with thousands of applicants receiving Dominican citizenship every year. It offers a cash donation option and a real estate option to investors. The minimum investment amount for donation to the Economic Diversity Fund was reduced in 2017 to become even more affordable. Dominica’s passport provides visa-free travel to Europe for 90 days in a 180-day period.
