Dominica's Citizenship by Investment Programme was established in 1993. Essentially, the country offers individuals the opportunity to obtain Dominican citizenship by making an investment in the country. Specifically, the investment can be either a real estate purchase, or a donation to the Economic Diversification Fund.
Fundamentally, applicants and their families are granted lifetime citizenship, allowing them to live, work, and travel freely within Dominica and obtain enhanced global mobility. Notably, the country has become a popular destination for holidays, attracting every year tourists from all over the world.
