Dominica CBI remains one of the top family friendly citizenship by investment programs in the World. Any family member such as spouse, children, parents and granparents upto third generation can be included for citizenship at ease.
In 2023, Dominica expanded the meaning of ‘dependant’ to include a wider range of family members. Published in the country’s Official Gazette the Commonwealth of Dominica Citizenship by Investment (Amendment) Regulations, 2023 broadened the scope of eligible ‘dependants’ and post-citizenship additions amongst other significant measures.
Approved applicants can go on and apply for a Dominican passport, which allows them visa-free or visa on arrival travel to over 140+ destinations including Russia, China, Schengen area etc. Further benefits include retaining citizenship for life, the right to live and work in the country, and the ability to pass on citizenship to one’s descendants.
