Moving to the Caribbean, several small island nations have pioneered Citizenship by Investment schemes, often as a way to bolster government revenue and diversify their economies. Dominica is a prime example. For a minimum investment of $200,000 in real estate or a $100,000 contribution to a government fund, applicants and their families can secure full citizenship. The Dominica passport offers visa-free access to over 140 countries, including the Schengen Area and the United Kingdom. The program has been praised for its efficiency and affordability, though critics sometimes question the risks of selling citizenship so openly. Nevertheless, Dominica’s CBI program remains one of the most popular in the region.
