For decades, the two-island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis exported sugarcane to keep its economy afloat. When sugar prices fell, St. Kitts began to sell an even sweeter commodity: its citizenship.
For $250,000, a foreigner can buy full rights as a citizen there. The transaction can take as few as three months and applicants need never visit the nation’s sandy shores.
The allure? St. Kitts citizens can travel without a visa to more than a hundred countries, including Canada and all of Europe. They pay no personal income taxes, and the island’s remote location in the West Indies serves as a safe haven, should the need for a quick move ever arise.
STOP PASSPORT SALES NOW! Clowns to the left Jokers to the right. Weak government, bankrupt of ideas and a worthless and irresponsible opposition…egocentric maniacs. Are we doomed?
Man I was shocked to read this on the front page of MSN. and yes 4progress, we really that cheap, $75000.00us for a passport. St.Kitts own at $250000.00us is chicked feed, now what would you say about ours. I think that should stop.
We have more land, resources and peaceful country than st kitts and we are selling out dominica for $75000 and st kitts $250000
The small mindedness never cease to amaze me…
Thats not gud for the security of a country..
STOP those PASSPORT SALES now !!!! Citizens are hurting. The country is reeling in Pain. A Few people are amassing massive wealth. Passports, our diplomatic passports for sale to all and sundry. Dominicans, why allow Skerritt and his DLP Govt. to continue with that travesty? Why would Skerritt and his DLP Govt. refuse to listen to the people clamouring for those passport sales to STOP NOW.
Set up a Commission of Inquiry into the indiscreminate sales of our DA Passports. We are all in more problems, due to those sales, than ever before. Where are the investments? where has all the money gone? To whose benefit are those sales? People are begging and pleading to Skerritt and his DLP Govt. to STOP putting Dominica into further problems. Why would they not listen? Not because of love for country, but because of the huge sums of money being made. Money make the devil Dance.
Such arrogant, narcissist, behaviours by authorities have been the cause of endless strife, rifts, unnecessary trouble in many countries. Are we not hearing enough corrupt, illegal acts, increase in crimes, violence, fraud, passports in the hands of God knows whom? So is no problem? STOP the SALES OF OUR PASSPORTS NOW.
How could a FEW take the majority down a path of dishonesty, cheating, lying, corruption, selling our Sovereignty, Begging, almost total dependence on foreign countries for our livelihoods, disrespect for Law and Order and all the other ills that are crippling an entire nation? Dominicans must gather the strength, pray harder and with a sincere heart to their PAPA GOD, to convince Skerritt and his ilk that Dominica comes first. But do they listen to the People at all?
In Partliament, do not expect honest ANSWERS to any questions about Sales and transparency. The country is in deep trouble. DEEP, DEEP TROUBLE.
Is it TRUE, PASSPORT-MAKING MACHINBE FOUND? No arrest, then? You all see the problem? SOLD again. MONEY MAKE the devil dance.
For $75,000….are we really cheaper than St Kitts ???????
i need a passport then…hmmm.lol
