Few words about Dominica

Dominica is an island country in the Caribbean Sea and one of the larger islands in the Lesser Antilles. It is located to the south-southeast of Guadalupe and northwest of Martinique.

It is renowned for its unspoiled natural beauties such as the beautiful sandy beaches, lush mountainous rainforests, waterfalls, springs and rivers as well as the spectacular flora and fauna.

Also, Dominica is a part of the Commonwealth of Nations, the trading Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States.

The Caribbean countries schemes offer two options for applying for their Citizenship by Investment scheme.

The first option, which is always the cheapest, is through donation to government fund and the second option is through the Real Estate Investment on government pre – approved projects.

In our professional opinion we believe that some programs may not carry on forever and have a deadline. For that reason, any investor that wishes to obtain such an additional Citizenship should operate in a fast and smart manner.
