Dominica: The Green Island with a Green Passport

Ask any Dominican citizen and they will proudly tell you: the “nature island” of Dominica is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Dominica is a paradise, yes - but is not your typical Caribbean beach destination. Dominica is a green paradise dominated by dense tropical rainforest dotted with hot sulphur springs. 

Green dominates Dominica: as the main colour on the national flag and in the nation’s commitment to keeping development sustainable and eco-friendly. You won’t be surprised, then, to find out that the coveted passport issued to Dominica citizens is also green!

Tourism in Dominica is high end boutique style, restricted to individuals in the know. Visitors to Dominica are often inspired by the island’s long-standing Citizenship by Investment program.

If your idea of enjoyment is adventure and an active lifestyle, followed by a pampering natural spa treatment at the end of the day, then the Dominica citizenship program may be for you!

Created as a stimulus for domestic economic growth in 1993, the Dominica citizenship by investment program is one of the most affordable legal “second passport” programs available to the global community of free thinking individuals and anyone who wants to protect against political or security risks at home. You and your family members can become proud owners of Dominican Citizenship.
