Travel to Europe with Dominica passport
The European Union has visa policies and regulations that can be quite strict. This means that the citizens of the majority of non-EU countries must go through a lengthy process that includes the submission of documents, the fulfillment of numerous requirements, and the payment of visa fees. Obtaining a visa to enter Europe is not guaranteed, despite all of the effort, time, and money invested, some visa applications can be rejected.
Dominica citizenship advantages
Dominica passport holders, on the other hand, are not required to obtain a visa to enter most European countries. With this privilege, many investors, businesspeople, and their families are pursuing a Dominica citizenship so that they can travel to Europe without a visa.
The Dominica passport provides visa-free access to prominent tourist and business destinations in Europe, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. For Dominica passport holders, most European countries outside of the European Union and the Schengen area, such as the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Serbia, and Russia, do not require a visa.
The good news is that the applicants who meet the requirements of the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program can obtain Dominica citizenship and passport within only 3 to 4 months.
