Since January 2015, Investors willing to become the citizens of Dominica have two options they can choose from. Under the “Economic citizenship by investment” program, investors are able to invest in previously approved real estate project. Investors were not able to gain Dominica citizenship without actually residing in the country until 1993. But since Economic Dominica Citizenship program was established by the government, this Caribbean state has become one of the most flexible and affordable double citizenship and second passport programs in the world. In fact, Dominica just won award ’Best Caribbean Citizenship program 2016’ due to the cheapest real estate investment program in Caribbean region.
