Commonwealth of Dominica

Dominica, known as the “Nature Isle of the Caribbean,” established its Citizenship by Investment Programme in 1993, making it one of the most enduring and respected programmes of its kind. This lush, mountainous island is celebrated for its unspoiled rainforests, abundant rivers, and dramatic landscapes, attracting eco-conscious travellers and investors alike. Dominica’s commitment to sustainability and its focus on climate resilience further enhance its appeal, positioning the island as a forward-thinking nation that balances development with environmental preservation.
