Post citizenship additions have lately become very popular with foreign investors applying for citizenship by investment programs. This way the main applicant first obtains citizenship first, giving enough time for other family members (spouse and new born children) to apply at a later stage.
This way you don’t get to spend too much money upfront for the purpose of citizenship. For example you can add your new born child anytime for citizenship at a later stage by paying just $500
On 29th July, Dominica has made a number of amendments to CBI program to the family members under Dominica Citizenship By Investment Regulations 2020. They went as far as changing definition of dependents to make the CBI a family friendly program. They also slashed prices for family of 4 applying for CBIP
