Dominica CBI Case Study: A US surgeon secures second citizenship in Dominica for his entire family through a luxury real estate investment
Client Profile
Obtain second citizenship through the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program via real estate option for long term family security and a "Plan B." As a high earning surgeon, the client sought enhanced global mobility, an asset backed investment, and long term security for their wife and three children.
Obstacles & Complications
Source of Funds
Extensive source of funds documentation tied to surgical practice income and retained earnings, need for confidentiality, and desire to select a premium government-approved development with strong resale positioning.
Had They Tried Other Advisors?
No, they knew they wanted to work with a law firm with the level of prestige that Harvey Law Group offers.
Our Approach
Conducted full eligibility review and structured a straightforward proof of funds narrative tied to medical practice revenues and investment income. Coordinated with the client's financial advisor to present compliant source of funds documentation. Performed independent evaluation of approved luxury real estate developments and provided comparative analysis on asset quality and resale strategy. Managed complete family application preparation, submission, due diligence coordination, and approval process.
What Made Our Approach Different
We approached the engagement as both a legal matter and a luxury asset acquisition strategy. Our team provided independent project vetting and long-term exit planning considerations.
How We Overcame the Complications
Proactively consolidated multi year income records, practice distributions, and investment statements into a structured compliance-ready application.
