One of the most affordable entry points into Caribbean citizenship — a well-regarded programme offering a strong passport and a straightforward application process.
Programme Overview
Dominica's Citizenship by Investment programme has been operating since 1993 and is widely respected for its transparency, regulatory integrity, and value. With a donation threshold of USD 200,000 for a single applicant, it offers one of the most cost-accessible routes to Caribbean citizenship.
Despite its competitive pricing, the Dominica programme maintains high standards of due diligence and has a strong international reputation. The passport provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 140 countries, including the Schengen area.
Dominica has also invested significantly in its "Nature Isle" brand, making it an increasingly attractive destination for eco-conscious investors and lifestyle-driven applicants who wish to use their citizenship as a genuine second home base.
