Dominica Passport Application: Fill & Download for Free

Your easiest bet would be either to immigrate to one and fulfill the residency requirements. Most of them have a certain number of years you need to live there and a good number of EU countries allow for dual citizenship.If you have the means, citizenship by investment or residency by investment is always an option. I listed a few countries. In Europe, the easiest three countries would be:1. PortugalPortugal Golden Visa Program offers a permanent residence permit through investment.The program requires a minimum 7 days of residence for each year.The applicants of Portugal investor visa can include their family members into the program.The individuals who maintain their permanent residence permit for 5 years may apply for Portugal citizenship.2. MaltaMalta, an EU country, has the official citizenship by investment program (Malta IIP) in Europe.It takes about 15 months to get the Maltese passport. Malta passport issued under IIP is valid for 10 years.3. CyprusCyprus, which is part of the EU, has a citizenship by investment program, which significantly changed on May 15th, 2019.You have to visit the country to receive citizenship and there is a new 6 month residency requirement (hold residence card) before applying for Cypriot passport.Application processing time is about 3 months and it takes around 8 months to get the Cyprus passport after the investment.There are several other golden visa programs, too. But i think listing every one of them may confuse people.I suggest you to consider each program according to your needs.Good luck !

It's alot tougher than it used to be. The new law says you've got to find a graduate level job with a minimum salary ranging from at least £20800 and £30000 dependent on the occupation within 4 months of completing your course, or go home if you fail to find such a job within that 4 months grace period.However there is a pilot scheme in place at some of the universities where you are allowed 6 months to find a job if you have completed a Master's degree or an MBA. 4 universities were in the original pilot; Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, and University of Bath. However from August/ September 2018 an additional 23 universities* will be added to the pilot. See * list in Edit.A graduate job is defined by the government as one needing at least a HND qualification ( ie an associate degree ). Many students start looking for such a job many months before completing their course. Graduate employers start visiting universities from about November, for August or September job start dates. So you could start looking for that job a month after starting your MSc course. You can also attend recruitment events at other universities if an employer you are interested in isn't visiting your university. Some universities also put on Jobs fairs just for minority students which some employers attend ( but not the majority ) to increase the number of non-white employees in their organisation. University of Manchester ran one of those recruitment fairs for minority students when I was at Manchester in 2006. Imperial College London has something similar as well to help nonwhite graduates get into top firms. The BBC has its own scheme as well. Also the Career's service at all universities stock a directory called GET ( Graduate Employment and Training ). It lists most graduate employers with vacancies. It's a free directory you can take away with you. The Careers Service may also publish a weekly or fortnightly bulletin of employers with vacancies. But that fortnightly list is probably online nowadays. There may also be specialist websites in the UK for Marketing jobs. A good jobs website / search engine is www.indeed.co.ukIf you search for Marketing Jobs in the UK version of Google ( rather than your own country's Google website ) www.google.co.uk you can start looking and make enquiries for UK marketing jobs right now.On the UK government website www.gov.uk you will find a list of occupations where it is easier for employers to secure work visas for overseas students. The so called "Shortage occupation list". Occupations include Maths and Physics High School teachers, certain finance jobs, certain engineering jobs, Nursing, & Medicine. The full list is on the dot gov website.Another option to stay in the UK if you have money would be to get a Graduate entrepreneur Tier 1 visa. However for that you'd need a minimum of £ 50k to start the business. There is also a Tier 1 Young Talent visa for young people who have started an IT company.Another option to stop in the UK would be to marry a British citizen. However that British citizen needs to be earning more than £18600 per annum; failing that he or she would need savings of at least £62k. ( There is however a way around that law if your British partner is prepared to work in another EU country for at least 6 months. ( eg. Republic of Ireland is another English speaking EU country ). It is called the "Surrinder Singh route". There are Quora postings about this bit of UK law ).Things have got even tougher, generally speaking, since 1st April 2016. Since that date non-EU migrants who arrived in the UK in or after 2011, who wish to stop in the UK for more than 6 years, now need to be earning, by the end of their 6th year in the UK £35000+. If they fail that test they have to go home.Another set of jobs the government treats as “shortage occupations” are all jobs, any job paying a salary that is greater than £159600 per annum. This is of course an unrealistic salary unless you are a footballer, entertainer, investment banker, supersales person, or job agency doctor or dentist. Some IT contractor jobs in the UK pay £100 per hour. That would be another way of earning £160k+ ( £100x40x50 = £200k pa ).You can find UK jobs paying more than £159k or more per annum on websites such as:www.indeed.co.ukwww.bankingjobsuk.co.ukwww.efinancialcareers.co.ukBut obviously most £159k+ jobs are for applicants with lots of work experience.The UK high street banks back in 2002 used to lend Pharmacy graduates a minimum of £250k to open a pharmacy shop. In 2009 my cousin who is a Pharmacist borrowed £750k to open a high street pharmacy. He was however born in this country ( UK ). I don't know whether the banks lend that sort of money to Pharmacy graduates who aren't EU citizens. If you type "pharmacy loans uk" into www.google.co.uk you should find a list of finance companies that may lend you the money to open a pharmacy or other medically related UK business.See www.gov.uk for all the latest goverment rules and regulations regarding migration and work visas.Another option for those with money would be to take part in The Commonwealth of Dominica's "Citizenship by Investment" programme. By becoming a citizen / passport holder of Dominica, that would give you the right to live and work anywhere in The EU including the UK, plus Switzerland. To become a citizen of Dominica through this scheme you would need to buy property on the island valued at $150k+ US dollars. You are free to sell that property after X number of years. There is no residency requirements if you want to become a citizen of Dominica via that scheme. Dominica is an ex-British colony in The Caribbean. ( Nb. Dominica, and The Dominican Republic aren't the same country. The scheme just mentioned is with Dominica ). Processing times for a Dominica passport via that scheme is 12 weeks, according to the Dominica government's website. St.Kitts, and Antigua have similar schemes, that would give you the right to live and work anywhere in the EU plus Switzerland; however the minimum investment needed to get a passport for those countries is $400k USD. $400k investment, or donate $250k to a charity on their island. But if you opt to donate ( $250k ) it is nonrefundable.The UK has its own Investment scheme that would get you a British passport stamped British Citizen, after a few years. But you would need to be a millionaire. You need to buy £2 million worth of UK government investment bonds to qualify for that Tier 1 investment vida. You don't have to get a job or run a business as a Tier 1 Investment visa holder. You don't even have to spend most of your time in the UK as a Tier 1 Investment visa holder.You could also try getting a work visa for the Republic of Ireland. Their rules aren't as stringent as the UK. Eg. The job doesn't have to be a graduate level job. And I don't think they have high minimum salary rules. Plus it is an English speaking country.Germany is a tough place to find work. They have a Blue Card Scheme for non-EU job seekers. The Blue Card allows the migrant to work anywhere in mainland Europe. The Shengen Region. But to qualify you need to find a job in Germany with a minimum salary of €55000 euros, unless it is a job in IT.Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland and Denmark have the highest salaries. The minimum wage in Switzerland is about $25.50 USD per hour. So cleaners earn at least that amount in Switzerland. School teachers in Luxembourg earn €75k euros per annum . But whether you can get work in those countries if you can only speak English, depends on the sector you are working in. Eg. You can get away speaking only English in Switzerland if you are working as a computer programmer in a multinational company.*Edit : the 23 universities joining the pilot from 2018, in addition to Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and University of Bath; allowing Master's graduates 6 months to find a job instead of 4 months :Cardiff UniversityGoldsmiths College, LondonHarper Adams UniversityNewcastle UniversityRoyal Central School of Speech & Drama, LondonUniversity of BristolUniversity of DurhamUniversity of East AngliaUniversity of EdinburghUniversity of EssexUniversity of ExeterQueens University BelfastUniversity of GlasgowUniversity of LeicesterUniversity of LiverpoolUniversity of ManchesterUniversity of NottinghamUniversity of ReadingUniversity of SheffieldUniversity of SouthamptonUniversity of Wales, Trinity St. DavidUniversity of WarwickUniversity of YorkFebruary 2021 Update :From Summer 2021 the UK government will be launching a Post-Study Work Visa for graduates. ( For graduates who have completed and passed a Bachelor's, Master’s or a PhD at any university. The pilot scheme mentioned above has been scrapped. ). With this visa the graduate can stay on in the UK for 2 or 3 years without having to find a graduate level job or sponsorship. ( 2 years for Bachelor's or Master’s graduates, 3 years for PhDs ). Any job will do to qualify for this visa. So even if you can only find a menial job in McDonald’s you can be granted this visa. But by the end of the 2 or 3 year period on this visa you will need to have found a graduate level job with sponsorship, the Tier 2 work visa, to stay on for good. You can also use the new post study work visa to get a proper graduate job without having to find a sponsor. But by the end of the 2 or 3 year period you need to have encouraged the employer to sponsor you and get the Tier 2 work visa to be allowed to stay on in the country for good.Also since January 2021 the minimum salary for the Tier 2 work visa has been lowered. The minimum salary has been lowered from £30,000 to between £21000 and £25,600 dependent on your qualifications. If you have a PhD in a STEM subject the minimum salary for the Tier 2 work visa is now £21000. If you have a PhD in a non-STEM subject the minimum salary is now £23000. If you have a BSc or MSc/MPhil in a STEM subject the minimum salary is also £23000, or £21000 if the occupation counts as a “shortage subject” Eg. Engineer, Nurse, Maths teacher. If you have a BA or MA/MPhil in a non-STEM subject the minimum salary is now £25600.Another change since January 2021 is you no longer need a degree to qualify for the Tier 2 work visa, provided the minimum salary is £25,600 per annum and you are qualified to at least A level standard.

Physics, and Chemistry High school teachers are two of the shortage occupations on the list. Also some medical doctor specialisms. Eg. Emergency Medicine.Student Visas:You and your family could also access the UK as a student. Most PhD project vacancies at UK universities are listed on www.jobs.ac.uk Most scholarships for the 1000+ PhD projects listed on this website are for UK and EU nationals only. However the university will not say No to Non-EU self funding PhD students. So simply email the university or the tutor responsible for the PhD project you would like to do, explaining you will be funding the project yourself. The university will then send you a letter by email offering you a place at the university. With that letter you will be able to get a student visa. To obtain a UK student visa you simply need to satisfy the British authorities that somebody is paying your course fees. And that you are not a security risk to the UK ! The British government doesn't care who is paying your fees. You can register as a PhD student at a UK university on any date throughout the year. You do not have to wait till September /October. In fact some of the PhD projects listed on www.jobs.ac.uk start April 2016. Oxford and Cambridge universities have many projects for self funded PhD students. So it's worth checking their websites for projects in your field.www.ox.ac.ukwww.cam.ac.ukNb. If you have money you do not need to be exceptional to get into either Oxford or Cambridge University. They will take you with a 2nd class Hons degree if you are a self funding student. If you have the money to help them out with the upkeep of their ancient buildings you are even more likely to get in.The website addresses for all recognised universities in the UK are listed on www.prospects.ac.ukMost universities in the UK run PhD programmes. The start date is any day of the year. PhD student visas are for 4 or 5 years.Foreign students in the UK are allowed to work. 16 hours a week during term time, and full time in the holidays.You can get a student visa for a 1 year Master's degree as well.You can stop in the UK for at least 6 years after completing a degree course in the UK, if you can find a job paying at least £20600 per annum within 6 months of completing your course.

Charles University, in Prague, The Czech Republic.7. USA.( USA a Residency by Investment country ).If you have $500k USD or $1m to invest in a USA business such as a shopping centre or hotel under construction you will be given an EB-5 visa, then a Green card ie permanent residency after 1 or 2 years. Google "EB-5 Attorneys" for a list of American lawyers who will find government approved investments on your behalf A few of these lawyers are also on YouTube.If you are not wealthy it may still be possible to get a US visa if you are a professor / exceptional in your field, or if you have a Master's or PhD.The EB1 visa is for professors and other leaders in their field such as artists and successful musicians.
