The Commonwealth of Dominica is proud to announce that its Citizenship by Investment Programme has once again been recognised as one of the best in the world in the 2025 CBI Index. The CBI Index is an independent, data-driven ranking that evaluates Citizenship by Investment Programmes across multiple countries. It assesses Programmes against nine key pillars considered most important to investors, including Due Diligence, Ease of Processing, Investment Options, and Certainty of Product. In the 2025 edition, Dominica continued its tradition of robust performance, receiving top scores in categories that reflect its efficiency, integrity, and investor confidence.
This achievement reflects the Unit’s commitment to delivering a trusted, transparent and efficient Programme that meets the needs of international investors while directly supporting Dominica’s sustainable development goals.
This accolade not only underscores Dominica’s excellence in offering a world-class Citizenship by Investment Programme but also highlights its pivotal role in driving transformative national development. By aligning investor contributions with strategic initiatives, the Programme seamlessly bridges individual aspirations with collective progress, fostering sustainable growth and resilience across the island.
Supporting national development
The Citizenship by Investment Programme plays a leading role in Dominica’s growth and resilience. Through contributions to the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) and investments in Government-approved real estate projects, the Programme channels resources into healthcare, education, infrastructure, and climate resilience. These funds have supported the construction of climate-resilient housing, upgrades to hospitals and schools, and investment in renewable energy initiatives such as geothermal and solar projects. Major national infrastructure projects, including the international airport and the world-class cable car development, are also being advanced through CBI resources, creating jobs and boosting long-term economic growth.
This dual-pathway approach ensures that investors not only gain the benefits of Dominican citizenship but also become partners in the island’s vision to become the world’s first climate-resilient nation. Their investments contribute directly to the prosperity, security, and sustainability of Dominica, leaving a legacy that extends well beyond individual benefits.
A proven global leader
Dominica’s recognition as one of the best Citizenship by Investment Programmes in the world reaffirms its leadership in the global investment migration industry. The Citizenship by Investment Unit remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of service, integrity and governance, ensuring that the Programme continues to set benchmarks for transparency and excellence.
By directly funding projects that strengthen national resilience — from climate-resilient housing and healthcare to renewable energy and large-scale infrastructure — the Programme stands as a model of how Citizenship by Investment can deliver long-term value for both investors and host nations. This balance of investor confidence and national progress is at the heart of why Dominica continues to be recognised among the world’s best.
