RENOUNCE CITIZENSHIP

The Commonwealth of Dominica has just celebrated its thirty-fourth year of independence amid much revelry.  The highlight of the celebrations, one may argue, was perhaps not the usual Independence Day Military Parade but rather the World Creole Music Festival.

Still in the spirit of festivity, North Americans and well wishers taper their rejoicing of the Obama's re-election. Somehow this win, although historic like the first, did not seem to reverberate as the previous. Perhaps its is due to the fact that everyone is cognizant of the daunting task which lay before him in terms of the economy, un-employment and a Republican Senate.

Interestingly, the both leaders of Dominica and North America in their recent speech to commemorate Independence and Re-election respectively emphasized the importance of upholding the nation's core values of independence, the need to pause and reflect on the blessings of the nations and the value of working together to build the nations irrespective of diverging ideologies.

Unlike Dominicans, North Americans somewhat do not believe Obama's promise that there are better things to come. Since Election scores of North Americans  have been inquiring about how to renounce citizenship.  Renouncing citizenship should not be a heady decision. There are number of issues to consider when renouncing US Citizenship.  The first questions would no doubt be :

  • Do I really need to renounce my citizenship?
  • What are the advantages/disadvantages of surrendering one's citizenship?
  • Which citizenship should I opt for?
  • How do I claim my citizenship?
The Government of Dominica Economic Citizenship Programme ranks highly in the choice of countries offering second passports. Moreover, the competitive edge that the St. Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment Programme enjoys in terms of visa free travel to Europe will soon end.  On November 7, 2012, the EU announced that holders of Dominica Passports will be allowed visa free entry into the Schengen area and travel within the area for three months. More visa free entry to other EU countries will follow as Dominica negotiates with the Union.

Alick C. Lawrence Chambers is one of the approved Government Agents for Dominica's Economic Citizenship Programme. The chambers has an experienced staff and a high success rate of applications.  This capable team makes renouncing one citizenship easy!

  1. St. Kitts and Nevis will not notify the government of your current citizenship of your second Nevis citizenship.
