Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has provided an important update on Dominica’s ongoing engagement with the United States regarding the Presidential Proclamation issued on 16th December 2025, which announced partial restrictions on the entry of Dominican nationals into the United States.
In his statement, the Prime Minister clarified key details about the restrictions, including confirmation that Dominican nationals who hold valid US visas may continue to travel to the United States as normal after 1st January 2026. He also outlined the comprehensive legislative reforms to Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Programme enacted on 14th October 2025, which directly address the concerns raised in the Proclamation.
The Government remains in active dialogue with US authorities and is committed to resolving this matter constructively whilst maintaining Dominica’s strong bilateral relationship with the United States.
