Dominica Strengthens Economic Integration with the Caribbean Region
Starting from 1 October 2025, Dominica—together with Belize, Barbados, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines—will embark on one of the most ambitious phases of regional integration under the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME): the free movement of citizens. This development, announced at the conclusion of the 49th Regular Meeting of the CARICOM Heads of Government Conference, opens up additional opportunities for investors considering acquiring Dominican citizenship through investment in government-approved real estate.
Dominica’s participation in the implementation of free movement for citizens affirms its commitment to deep economic and political regional integration. This is not merely a symbolic gesture—it represents a real expansion of citizens’ rights: to move, live, and work freely in partner countries without the need for a work permit. This model is a logical continuation of the vision for a unified Caribbean space, where human capital mobility acts as a catalyst for growth.
For those viewing citizenship as a long-term investment, this significantly enhances Dominica’s appeal. A citizen of a country actively involved in realising the principles of a free labour market and regional cooperation gains access to a broader economic environment—particularly within the Caribbean Community.
Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Programme allows investors to obtain citizenship by investing in state-approved tourism developments. Projects such as Anichi Resort & Spa—part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection—adhere to strict international standards and are managed by professional entities, ensuring both transparency and the long-term sustainability of the investment.
As Dominica becomes more integrated into the free movement mechanism within the CSME, these investments gain broader relevance. Citizenship no longer merely grants legal residence and access to domestic opportunities—it becomes a gateway to the wider Caribbean economic area, offering the chance to work, build businesses, and establish professional networks across multiple jurisdictions.
Dominica’s decision to implement the free movement protocol is not a spontaneous one—it is the result of a consistent national policy pursued over several years. Although the original target for full CARICOM implementation—set for 2015—was missed, Dominica is demonstrating a clear readiness to not only meet its commitments but also to lead in the ongoing CSME reform process.
Participation in this initiative speaks to the maturity of Dominica’s institutions and its sense of responsibility towards regional partners and investors. This approach is especially valuable in the context of global changes, where the reliability of the partner state is becoming no less important a criterion than tax or infrastructure advantages.
For globally-minded investors, what matters is not only the location of their investment, but the broader framework it supports. Dominica offers more than stunning natural beauty and high-quality tourist infrastructure—it also promises increasing regional engagement. Through its involvement in CSME and other international agreements, the country is positioning itself as a vital connector within the Caribbean’s economic framework.
As a result, acquiring Dominican citizenship through investment becomes a well-considered choice for those seeking sustainable integration and access to a fast-developing region.
