The citizenship by investment program offered by Dominica is the most affordable among all the other Caribbean-based citizenship programs. Operational since 1991, Dominica’s citizenship by investment program is legally entrenched in the country’s constitution and citizenship act. The constitutional law and subsequent amendments provide the Dominican government the right to grant individuals from other countries with citizenship and passport legally.
