Summary
Dominica offers approved real-estate investment as well as donation. Amounts and holding periods are project-based and often higher than the minimum donation, but you hold an asset. Liquidity, total cost and who each suits.
Short answer: Dominica’s real-estate route invests in approved projects for a set holding period; the donation is lower but not recoverable. Choose based on whether you want an asset, project risk and higher total outlay.
