The Commonwealth of Dominica
Dominica is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea, known for its lush rainforests, volcanic peaks and unspoiled coastline. The country achieved independence from Britain in 1978 and is a proud member of the British Commonwealth.
The national currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD), and the economy is driven by agriculture, tourism, and selectively developed investment initiatives. Dominica’s citizenship framework is well established and recognized for its due diligence standards and efficient processing.
Program highlights

Dual citizenship is permitted, there is no physical presence requirement, and applicants are not required to travel to Dominica; passports are issued and delivered securely by international courier.
