Programme overview

A route designed around
your family and future.

Dominica is an independent Commonwealth state in the Eastern Caribbean, known for its natural landscape and long-running Citizenship by Investment Programme established in 1993.

Successful applicants obtain Dominican citizenship and the rights attached to it under national law. The programme can support international mobility, family contingency planning and lawful global business structuring, but it is not tax, banking or immigration advice.

Applications must be submitted through an authorised agent. Baytii works with Global Citizen Consultants to assess eligibility, coordinate documentation and manage the file through the official process.
