Immigration Overview
Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic) is a small, mountainous island known as the "Nature Isle of the Caribbean." It's covered in rainforest, has no international airport runway long enough for large jets, and is one of the least developed Caribbean nations. None of that matters for CBI purposes.
What matters is that Dominica offers a legitimate, well-run citizenship program at the lowest price point in the market. Starting at $100,000 for a single applicant, it's roughly half the cost of St. Kitts or Grenada. The passport provides visa-free access to 143+ countries, and the program has operated since 1993 with a solid reputation.

Total costs for the donation route including government fees, due diligence, and legal typically run $130,000-160,000 for a single applicant. This is significantly lower than St. Kitts or Grenada while providing comparable benefits.
Considerations: Dominica does not have direct flights from major hubs, and the island is less developed than neighbors. This doesn't matter if you're seeking a passport for mobility and tax planning rather than a lifestyle destination. The lower cost makes Dominica the entry point for many first-time CBI applicants.
