After months of global pandemic lockdown, South Africans have become increasingly worried about their future and the impact a struggling economy, government uncertainty and growing crime statistics will have on their children.<\/p>\n
They have started to look for a plan B \u2013 somewhere they can move to raise their families in a beautiful, stable and safe environment.<\/p>\n
The island of Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic) is in stark contrast to the problems South Africans face and has been described as a relative \u2018Garden of Eden\u2019.<\/p>\n
With a population of only 70,000 the country is safe, the land is fertile, and the government stable. Citizens feel cared for and are welcoming and friendly.<\/p>\n
With its close proximity to the USA, Dominica\u2019s currency is pegged to the USD guaranteeing currency stability.<\/p>\n
All this combined with the easy accessibility to the rest of the world, it is no wonder that South Africans, accustomed to living in beautiful surroundings, would choose Dominica as their safe haven.<\/p>\n
Citizenship by Investment (CBI) has long been established as a relatively accessible way for someone to diversify and gain access to a second passport. By investing in a country, either through a donation or real estate options, you are able to obtain dual citizenship.<\/p>\n
As a citizen of Dominica you retain citizenship for life and have visa-free access to more than three quarters of the world including China, UK and Europe. You are also able to pass on citizenship to future generations.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit, commented, “For us, foreign investors who become our citizens through CBI are truly valuable partners. We are proud to call them our own and to offer them a truly spectacular place to call home.”<\/p>\n
Dominica’s CBI programme is the backbone of its green growth strategy with recent eco projects including 5,000 new hurricane-proof homes and 14 new health centres.<\/p>\n
