About the Commonwealth of Dominica

This beautiful island is distinguished by its pristine sandy beaches, lush green mountains, geothermal hot springs, waterfalls, acres of unspoiled tropical rainforests, and some of the best diving and hiking in the Caribbean. To the west is Dominica’s capital, Roseau, with its colorful timber houses and botanic gardens.

A diverse blend of English, French, African and Caribbean peoples and cultures, Dominica is a politically and economically stable state with the lowest crime rate in the region. Dominica also recognizes dual citizenship, which means that you do not have to give up your current citizenship.
