Dominica Opens an Embassy and Consulate in the UAE
The opening of a Dominica diplomatic mission in the UAE reflects the close ties between the Commonwealth of Dominica and Gulf-resident principals — and provides practical consular support for Dominican citizens living in the region.

Addressing his fellow Dominican citizens at a special celebration in Dubai to mark the 40th anniversary of the Independence of the Commonwealth of Dominica, the Honorable Prime Minister Roosevelt Skeritt announced that the Caribbean nation is in the final stages of preparation for establishing its Embassy in the UAE. The Embassy, which is expected to open next year in Abu Dhabi, will be subsequently followed by a Consulate General in Dubai.
Speaking to the audience at a special reception held at the Kempinski Palm Jumeirah on December 1st, PM Skerrit announced that the Ambassador (Designate) to the UAE will be experienced diplomat Hubert J. Charles, Dominica’s former Ambassador to the United States and the Organization of American States. Arrangements are being finalized for the formal presentation of credentials to the UAE Government.
Dominica’s UAE Embassy was the first established by the Caribbean nation in the Middle East. The news was welcomed by people in the region who had joined the nation through its Citizenship by Investment Programme. Dominican law permits citizenship to be granted to qualified applicants who use a prescribed investment route and satisfy the programme’s due-diligence requirements. Citizenship remains subject to Dominican law, including the legal grounds on which it may be revoked; family registration and descent rules must be checked against the current legislation.
