Independence

This site is not run by, endorsed by or connected to the Government of Dominica, its Citizenship by Investment Unit or any authorised agent. Its publishers work with firms in the citizenship by investment industry: readers who ask for a conversation with a licensed adviser on the contact page, and agree to it, are referred to one, and the form says so first. When a page refers you to a firm, it will say so on that page. No relationship changes what a source says or how a fact is labelled.
