Belonging, Passports, Citizenship

If you really need to get away you can become  a citizen of Dominica for a cool $100,000. You can travel on your Dominica passport and you don't even need to live there.

Dominica Passport and Second Citizenship and its Advantages

• Second Passport and Dominica Citizenship for life
  Dominica offers second passport and citizenship for life for the main applicant, applicant’s spouse and dependent children (if any).
  
• Dual Citizenship
  Dual citizenship is permitted and there is  no residency requirement. It is necessary to visit Dominica once to attend the interview with a committee appointed by the Prime Minister in order to get your second passport. However, once citizenship is granted you have the option of living and working in Dominica for the rest of your life.
  
• Granting of Citizenship
  If you submitted all documents (i.e. application forms and all supporting documents, etc.), passed all necessary procedures (like due — diligence) and the interview with the committee was successful, as a rule, you can expect to receive your Certificate of Naturalization and Passport within the next 30 days. The Minister of Immigration and Labour will personally sign the Certificate of Naturalization authenticating you as a citizen of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
  
• Dominica Passport Validity
  The validity of passports in Dominica is ten (10) years and five (5) years for persons under the age of 16. A passport which has expired or which has no further space for visas must be replaced with a new one at the nominal cost of USD 45.
  
• Visa-Free Travel
  Travel visa-free to more than one hundred (100) countries including: Great Britain, Hong Kong, Liechtenstein, Ireland, South Korea and Switzerland. Where a visa is required (Schengen States), it is relatively easy to obtain it within a day.
  
• Tax Free Status
  Second passport and Dominica citizenship is the key to preserve your wealth. There are no capital gains, gift, and inheritance taxes in Dominica. If you have income coming in from outside of Dominica you do not pay income tax on this income.
  
• Security
  Protection of bank accounts, real estate and businesses, both abroad and within your own country.
  
• Confidentiality
  The Government of Dominica does not inform the country of your current citizenship or residency about your second or third citizenship.
  
• Residential permit
  A residential permit for persons wishing to reside in Monaco, Switzerland, Andorra, United Kingdom, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Bahamas and other Caribbean countries is easier to obtain by Dominican citizens, based on relations with these countries.
  
• Guarantee
  Your representative for the citizenship application will be CCP Inc, which has years of experience in these matters. The donation into the economy of Dominica has to be deposited into the Government Approved Project Escrow account, which will only be released from the escrow account when the Citizenship is granted or returned to the applicant if citizenship is denied.
  The money to be transferred into the CCP Inc’s account is to cover legal costs and processing and application fees and expenses.
  This amount is to be pre-paid before the process can begin and is non refundable. For further details refer to our Fees and Procedures section and FAQ’s .
  

These days immigration issues just keep popping up. The groups you identify with can be small groups that are a part of large groups, or states that have some autonomy that can make laws and regulations that can affect your life or countries which can have a really significant impact on your life.

Recently there have been some very significant flows of refugees from Syria to Europe, from South and Central America north, and from Africa to Italy.

Not everybody has 100,000 large hanging around but if you do, I guess you can just buy a plane ticket and get where you need to go.

Passports for sale kind of defeat the purpose of a passport. Money does not really mean Citizenship.
