Henley is a horrible company, but you do not need to use them. There are plenty of other licensed agents for the Commonwealth of Dominica's CBI program. For example, you can use The Nestmann Group, located in the U.S., or anybody else.
If you think Henley will do it for you for US$100,000 including all the government fees, costs and their professional fees then you are hugely mistaken. With the visa problems Vanuatu is not a good choice now I agree
No one ever said that. Stop putting words into people's mouth. I cited the cost of the donation, because I am comparing apples and apples here -- not apples and oranges. So, I am comparing the cost of the Dominica donation ($100k) with the cost of the Vanuatu donation ($130). But even factoring in the government fees, the Dominican CBI program is still less, with visa-free access to the EU.
I think clients are interested in the total cost, not just the donation... But I agree: Total Access is a very good place to be. I am a member
It is called "Heimatort" and can be translated to "Place of Origin".

It is a donation to a social wellfare fund, so not really an investment. In Dominica you can purchase real estate, but I would not recommend this for many reasons.
It is for sure easier to bank anywhere with 2nd passport. Paraguayan residency with Russian passport will not help much outside of Paraguay. You can get UAE residency in 1-2 days and bank in the UAE just as easily. Many Russians who were not before interested in any 2nd passport, are now getting them in order to continue using services like the ones you have mentioned.
Even those that have publicly stated that they have banned Russians - are still doing some Russian files, and those that will in the near future ban Russians - will also keep doing those files.
I'd say it depends on what citizenship you're acquiring vs what citizenship(s) you were born with.
Hi, There are two different versions of a property component solution: you need to buy from the approved properties or you can buy any residential/commercial property. With approved projects you should expect: 1. Fractional ownership for the minimum USD200,000-220,000, with either 1 or 2 co-owner with you. A Caribbean reliable (in a sense that the project will materialize) developer is selling 26 sqm student flats to three owners for USD 220,000 each - so the sale is at 25,000 USD per square meter. Do you really want to own such a property? 2. No secondary market exist for selling the overpriced propeerties at all. If you nthink you can recover your funds, then good luck! Another very big problem is the fraudulent use of "financing solution", where the property will not be finished at all. Just as a reminder of how Caribbean citizenship property fraud is going on, please read this article: US $2.2 Billion - Biggest Fraud In Caribbean History - Daily Research Editor . Some amounts are not correct, but the contents are definitely.
It is less of a headache to give away $100k than to spend $500k and own property in a very far away banana land for the sake of a not-so-great passport
In general terms I fully agree (see reasoning above), if you meant Vanuatu then the property-based citizenship never materialized
yes it not. They are also planning to issue a bond-based investment route ( I would avoid that like the plague as well )
there's 5 jurisdictions in the Caribbean that have active cash for passport schemes - all 5 have property investment schemes, and maybe 3-4 jurisdictions have some sort of 'financing' scheme. Some are outright illegal while some are more or less accepted by the governing body of said jurisdiction and you still get your banana country passport for less than the official amount.
