Since the fall of Hosni Mubarak in 2011, there has been a marked increase in the number of Egyptian Nationals seeking to migrate to other countries. This trend can be largely attributed to the political and economic instability that has beset Egypt in the years since Mubarak's ouster. As a result, many Egyptians are seeking to escape the high levels of poverty and unemployment that have become commonplace in their home country. Additionally, many Egyptians are seeking to take advantage of the opportunities available in other countries, particularly in Europe and North America.
But however, as a holder of an Egyptian passport, moving to these countries requires a visa or a passport that will grant you and your family permanent residence. How can you break free from this hassle? The answer is acquiring a second passport and dual citizenship in a country with a better passport ranking that will enable you to travel the world however you want.
Here at CTrust Global, an authorized Citizenship-by-investment agent for the Caribbean countries, we will share all the details on how Egyptians can acquire a Dominica passport and citizenship.

With a population of over 73,000, Dominica is a small island located in the eastern Caribbean Sea country. It is not to be confused with its neighboring country, the Dominican Republic. The country is also located in the Lesser Antilles, near the French overseas territories of Martinique and Guadeloupe. To say the least, Dominica boasts of its lush rainforests, sandy beaches, and hot springs. Over the years, Dominica’s tourism industry has recorded a huge surge, often attracted by holidaymakers, retirees, and business investors that foresees a future in the country.
Dominica’s passport is one of the strongest passports and currently ranks the 33rd position on the passport ranking index. With the current position, holders of Dominican passports can now travel to 144 countries visa-free and visa-on-arrival. This includes EU and Schengen countries, the United Kingdom, Israel, Singapore, China, and more.
In comparison, however, the Dominica passport gives its holders more traveling freedom than the Egyptian passport which currently ranks in the 92nd place with access to only 52 visa-free countries.
The question of why Egyptians should consider a Dominica passport isn’t a complex one that does not have clear reasons. Starting with the passport, holders of Egyptian passports have a limit to the countries with which they can visit visa-free. While the Egyptian passport can allow you to stay in Dominica for 21 days freely, acquiring the passport of the Caribbean country will add more edge to your traveling freedom. Below are more reasons why you should get a Dominica passport if you are a citizen of Egypt.
