Why Dominica

Affordable ≠ Second-Rate · The Real Positioning of Dominica

Cheapest Caribbean CBI

From $200K — $50K less than St. Kitts, $35K less than Grenada. A family of four can be covered for $250K-$275K all-in.

Fast Processing

Passport in 2-4 months — 1-2 months faster than St. Kitts or Grenada. Ideal for clients who urgently need a second identity.

Core Visa-Free Coverage

Schengen 90 days, UK 180 days, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea — all the destinations Chinese professionals actually use.

Mature Program History

Launched in 1993 — 30 years of compliance and stable adjudication. Small country, but the program itself is old-school established.

You never need to set foot in Dominica. Fully remote processing — oath of allegiance can be taken by video.

Tax Haven Jurisdiction

Non-residents owe zero tax on worldwide income. No inheritance tax, no capital gains tax. Favorable for offshore asset structuring.

Fit / Not a Fit

Is Dominica the Right Program for You?

Right fit if you…

Are a family with a $200K-$280K budget
Primarily want a backup identity + travel freedom
Need the passport in hand within 2-4 months
Care about practicality, not passport "prestige"
Are a business traveler who needs Schengen + UK visa-free

Not recommended if you…

Want to use the passport for US E-2 (Dominica is not E-2 eligible)
Need China visa-free entry (Dominica does not qualify)
Want a "prestige" passport for appearances (go with St. Kitts)
Are chasing investment return (the contribution is non-refundable)
Want to route your children into European education (go with Malta)

IPO proceeds

Why mention this here? Because a meaningful share of our passport clients are operating-company founders and institutional LPs — you don't only need a travel document, you need a partner who simultaneously understands regulation, cross-border structuring, IPO pathways, and asset placement. Ken's two roles share the same underlying playbook.
