Dominica, a quaint island country, frequently gets confused with the Dominican Republic, though the two are not related. Located in the West Indies, it forms part of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. Flanked by Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south, Dominica stretches about 47 kilometers long and 26 kilometers wide, categorizing it as one of the more expansive islands in the Windward Archipelago.
Formed by volcanic activity, Dominica boasts unique natural features such as mountains, rainforests, rivers, and waterfalls. The island's highest peak is Mt. Morne Diablotin, which rises to 1,447 meters above sea level.
The capital city, Roseau, is located on Dominica's southwest coast and serves as the main port and commercial hub. This city is typically the first destination for tourists arriving on the island.
Dominica enjoys a typical tropical maritime climate, characterized by warm and humid conditions year-round. However, it is also situated in the path of tropical cyclones, which brings the risk of hurricanes, particularly between June and November.

New Zealand has announced a significant update to its business immigration strategy, launching the new Business Investor Visa (BIV) in November 2025. This program replaces the previous Entrepreneur Work Visa and is designed to attract experienced investors to inject capital into established New Zealand businesses.
Effective August 1st, the program offers second citizenship in 6 weeks via Dubai-based PPP. From $90k donation + $5k fee (single applicant).
Starting August 20, certain visa applicants must post bonds up to $15,000. The program explicitly targets Citizenship-by-Investment holders over vetting concerns. Initially affects Malawi/Zambia nationals, but CBI countries face potential inclusion with 15 days' notice. 30-day stay limit applies.
