Why
Dominica Citizenship?
Dominica is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt islands in the world with an extraordinary variety of habitats given its small surface area, and probably the best rainforest remaining in the Caribbean. Known as “The Nature Island” for good reason it boasts dozens of waterfalls, a mountainous interior, cloud forest, coastal woodland and nine active volcanoes. There are plenty of opportunities for adventure and relaxation, it was here that scenes from the second and third ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ films were shot (check them out if you haven’t yet).
The Government of the Island is making great strides in making the Island the World’s first climate-resilient nation.
