One of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, the Commonwealth of Dominica is a former British colony and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, as well as the United Nations, the Organization of American States, CARICOM, and other international organizations. Its citizenship by investment program was established in 1993 to boost the country’s largely agriculture-based economy. In recent years, and through an increase in real estate investments, the country’s economy now relies heavily on tourism.
