Benefits of Dominican Citizenship:
Applying for citizenship by investment in Dominica has become increasingly popular in the last few years, and this should come as no surprise. There are numerous benefits to dual citizenship, with Dominica being a particularly appealing place to hold a second passport. The country offers a wealth of new opportunities and experiences, including:
- Full residence status — including working rights
- Joining a global community that transcends Dominica’s land borders
- Global mobility, including visa-free travel to over 140 territories, from Singapore and Hong Kong to the European Union and the United Kingdom
- Minimal taxation, with no wealth, gift, inheritance, foreign income, or capital gains tax
- The ability to hold multiple citizenships
- Knowing that you have personally contributed to the prosperity of a peaceful, welcoming country, which you can call home for life.
International Mobility
One of the biggest benefits of dual citizenship in general is the increased number of countries you can visit without needing a visa.
Successful applicants to the Dominican citizenship by investment programme will benefit from visa-free travel or visa-on-arrival(*) to the countries listed below. It must be noted that this is subject to change, and we strongly advise you to contact the relevant government authorities and agencies prior to making any travel arrangements.
