Concerns

In 2023 the European Union raised concerns about especially Dominica but also some more Caribbean countries, that they sold citizenships to people from countries like Iran, Russia and China, often with a name change, so unwanted people get free access to the European Union. The EU hinted that visa exemption could be suspended for these countries. However, in 2024, The PM added that the EU officials expressed satisfaction with the island’s initiatives of the CBI Programme and labelled the meeting as highly productive. He said officials also did their on-site evaluations of the CBI and Immigration Units. They also had a meeting with the Due diligence firms to understand what they are doing. They were satisfied with what we have done and what we are doing. So, the meeting was very constructive. I think they had a completely different perspective in many aspects with regards to the CBI Programme because they rely on what they hear and what they are told.^{[80] [81]}
