Dominica Citizenship by Investment

The Dominica Visa Program was initiated in the year 1993. The Dominican Republic offers Indians irrevocable Citizenship. It means you can enjoy the Citizenship of two countries. The best thing is that you need not be present in Dominica while applying for the Dominica Citizenship by investment program. It takes around four months, or a maximum of 6 months, to become the Citizen of this exotic Caribbean Island Nation.

Once you obtain the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Visa, you can travel to almost 115 countries, including the European Union, Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia, the UK, and Brazil.  This program is legally entrenched in law. The visa program also has no mandatory educational, professional, age, language, business, or other requirements. The country is thriving economically and is one of the richest countries in the Caribbean Belt.

The Dominican citizens are exempted from paying taxes, and the place has the lowest crime rate. The place is one of the most mesmerizing places on the earth, with verdant green lawns sprawling everywhere punctuated by pristine, pure waterfalls.

It all takes 1,00,000 USD to make you a Citizen of this very beautiful country.
