PR91209
ROSEAU, Dominica, Aug. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
The Commonwealth of Dominica has topped the chart with the best citizenship by
investment (CBI) programme [ http://www.cbiu.gov.dm/ ]in the world for the
fifth consecutive year. This is according to the CBI Index [http://www.cbiindex.com/ ],
an annual report published by the Financial Times' Professional Wealth Management magazine.
The study measures the performance and appeal of 14 CBI programmes across
various indicators it calls 'pillars'. Dominica attained maximum points in six
out of the nine 'pillars': Minimum Investment Outlay, Mandatory Travel or
Residence, Ease of Processing, Due Diligence, Family, and Certainty of Product.
"For Dominica, first place has been a consistent result for five consecutive
years. Maintaining a perfect score in six out of the nine pillars assessed,
Dominica once again promises, among other things, an affordable minimum
investment outlay, a streamlined application process, and certainty to
investors," the report read.
Due to the transparency and prominence of the Dominica CBI Programme, Dominica
was the only country that achieved a full score in the Certainty of Product
pillar. "At 28 years old and with a track record of good governance, the
Dominica CBI Programme has led the way in providing clarity as to how CBI funds
are used," the researcher noted. It added that the country "used CBI revenues
to successfully mitigate the effects of national disasters."
Ambassador Emmanuel Nanthan, the Head of the Citizenship by Investment Unit
(CBIU) in Dominica, commented, "It is of great honour to see that Dominica came
out on top once again. Of course, it is not a surprise to us as we lead and set
the example for excellence in the investment immigration industry. It was good
to see the reward for it."
In terms of the global mobility afforded to Dominican citizens, the report
noted that "Dominica was the Caribbean nation with the greatest increase in its
visa-free and visa-on-arrival offering for the second year in a row."
Applicants and their family members who successfully pass all security checks
and obtain citizenship of Dominica can travel to over 75 percent of the world.
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said: "Those who become Dominican citizens are
considered a part of our family. They help build our roads, hospitals and
schools through your investment in our CBI Programme."
Dominica established its CBI Programme in 1993. With a minimum contribution of
USD 100,000 to the Economic Diversification Fund
[https://cbiu.gov.dm/investment-options/economic-diversification-fund/ ],
reputable foreign investors can apply through an Authorised Agent listed on the
CBIU site [ https://cbiu.gov.dm/dominica-citizenship/authorised-agents/ ] and
attain second citizenship of Dominica without being subject to travel or
residence requirements, often within three months of application submission.
Applicants can also choose to apply through the real estate route
[https://www.cbiu.gov.dm/investment-options/real-estate/ ], by investing in
Government-approved eco-luxury properties like the Marriot, Hilton, or
Kempinski or a boutique resort like the award-winning Jungle Bay or Secret Bay.
