About the Commonwealth of Dominica
The Dominica Citizenship Investment Programme is offered by the Commonwealth of Dominica, which is an island-country in the Caribbean Sea.
Dominica is known as the ‘Nature Island of the Caribbean’ due to its unspoiled natural beauty. It is covered in rainforest and mountainous peaks, and has three hundred rivers, countless waterfalls, and 148 km (91 miles) of coastline. Dominica also holds the world’s second-largest thermally active lake.
After a long history of French and British rule, the island gained independence from Great Britain in 1978. Dominica is a parliamentary democracy with a President as the Head of State. The country is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the United Nations (UN), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), the Organisation of American States (OAS), and the International Organisation of La Francophonie.
With its easy lifestyle and friendly community, the island of Dominica has been named as one of the world’s happiest places to live. In addition, this tropical paradise has a vibrant culture, with both European and African traditions.
