Dominica is actively negotiating with the United Kingdom (UK) government to reinstate visa-free travel for its citizens, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit revealed during a recent press conference. This development follows the UK’s decision in July 2023 to impose visa requirements on Dominica nationals, citing concerns over the island’s Citizenship by Investment Program (CBI). The UK Home Office expressed apprehensions about the misuse of the CBI scheme, particularly the granting of citizenship to individuals deemed a potential risk to the UK. Home Secretary Suella Braverman emphasized these issues in a statement to the British parliament, leading to the implementation of the new visa regime on July 19, 2023. Prime Minister Skerrit remains optimistic, highlighting ongoing discussions with the UK and the appointment of a new High Commissioner in London, who has been instructed to prioritize this matter. Skerrit expressed confidence in the strength of Dominica’s case for the restoration of visa-free travel, underscoring the importance of regional agreements and legislative measures in influencing the UK’s decision.
