多米尼克政策指引与程序步骤

DOMINICA’S CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT PROGRAMME
多米尼克的投资公民计划
 
We at Caribbean Commercial & IP Law Practitioners LLP are licensed appointed agents for the promotion and marketing of Dominica’s Citizenship Programme.
我们在加勒比地区商业和知识产权法律师事务所是得到许可的多米尼克公民计划推广和销售指定代理｡
 
The Commonwealth of Dominica also known as the Nature Island of the Caribbean because of its breathtaking natural beauty is an independent island State situated in the Eastern Caribbean, a former British colony.  In 1993 the Government of Dominica introduced what was then called the Economic Citizenship Programme which gave investors seeking a second citizenship, the opportunity to become citizens of the commonwealth of Dominica, by making a cash investment in the country.
多米尼克联邦位于东加勒比, 前英国殖民地, 是一个独立的岛屿国家, 因其激动人心的自然美景亦称为加勒比自然岛｡  在1993年, 多米尼克政府出台了称之为经济公民身份计划这给投资者寻求第二个公民身份, 以现金投资到其国家, 便有一个机会成为多米尼克联邦的公民｡
 
In January of 2014 the Government restyled its programme as the Citizenship by Investment Programme and introduced an added component to the investment package.  Investors now have the opportunity to obtain citizenship of Dominica by investing in an approved project which provides them with the opportunity not only to obtain a second citizenship but also to invest in a business and obtain financial returns.
在2014年1月, 政府重新更改计划为投资公民计划并推出了添加了元素的投资计划｡  投资者现在有机会投资至一个被批核的项目中而取得多米尼克公民身份, 而且给他们的机会不单只是取得第二个公民身份更可投入到商业中和取得经济回报｡
 
The Citizenship by Investment Programme forms an important part of the Government’s thrust to advance the socio-economic development of the island.  Government views the citizenship by Investment programme as one component of its national capital mobilization portfolio towards its ultimate goal of national development and as such intends to channel capital from the programme towards public and private sector projects where a need is identified.  Under the approved project option of the programme, Government’s emphasis is on the tourism, information technology, agricultural and manufacturing sectors and therefore private sector projects to be financed under the programme will fall within one of those of these sectors.
投资公民计划形成政府的推力中很重要的一部份, 使其促进海岛的社会经济发展｡  政府视投资公民计划作为其国家调动资本组合并最终实现其国家发展目标的一个组成部分, 正因为如此, 打算从计划引进资金的公众和私营行业类别项目需要确认｡  根据该计划的批准项目选项,  政府的重点是旅游，信息技术，农业和制造业，因此提供私营部门项目经费将落入这些行业类别中｡
