Second Citizenship - For Whom?

It is a very mixed group of people who are interested in Dominica's second citizenship programme these days.  Firstly, there are those applicants whose own national passport is worthless as a travel document.  By this I mean they can visit very few countries without visas, and such visas are difficult to obtain with their national passport. Secondly, there are others who, although not falling in the first category, desire, mainly for security reasons, to use a different passport to travel to certain countries. Thirdly, there are some who are concerned about the long term stability of their own country and wish to hold Dominica Citizenship as a "fall back" position. This is the most surprising group because included in this group are applicants not only  from countries which are generally recognized as unstable potentially unstable but also from the countries which one would never consider to be in that category.  Applicants from these latter countries are becoming increasingly disillusioned and pessimistic with the state of affairs in their countries.  They fear the worse and want to have another country they can call home if their fears were to happen. Another group consists almost exclusively of wealthy business people who have resided and have done business in third countries which will, nevertheless, not grant them nationality status.  These people cannot or do not wish to return to their country of origin and require a country to call their home. Then, finally, there is the "miscellaneous" group - applicants who for very peculiar and all very legitimate reasons require a second nationality or passport.  These applicants provide the most interesting stories.
