Dominica's Citizenship by Investment Program was launched in 1993, with the benefit of promoting external contributions to expand the country's infrastructure and economy. The residency program through investment in Dominica helps enhance the region's competitiveness in the global market.
Currently, Dominica's investment-based citizenship program is considered the most successful citizenship program. It benefits both the local workforce in need of sustainable economic growth and foreigners seeking to obtain legal citizenship in Dominica.
Applicants for Dominica's investment-based citizenship typically obtain legal citizenship and a second citizenship within about 3 to 4 months. This makes Dominica's CBI program one of the fastest citizenship by investment programs in the Caribbean.
