The compliance statement, which outlines the policy and purpose of The Residences at Secret Bay, was issued to ensure full compliance with the highest principles of professional conduct to the related laws, regulations, and policies that govern the industry. This includes adhering to legislation as established by the Commonwealth of Dominica, and the policy statements that Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Unit issued as of October 11th, 2018 and January 24, 2022.
According to the statement, among other things, the Dominican CBI’s laws governing the real estate option require the following:
• That the price paid for real estate meets the minimum threshold of $200,000.
• That this minimum payment is paid in full to an authorized account.
• That the purchaser has encumbered title/ownership to the real estate being purchased.
• That the real estate must be held for a minimum of five years before it can be resold and eligible for use in another Citizenship by Investment application.
“We are today publishing our Compliance Statement as we want to make it absolutely clear that we do not want to be associated with any practices that are contrary to CBI regulations, such as what is commonly referred to as “Special Offers’ or Special Discounts” said Gregor Nassief, proprietor of Secret Bay, and the Residences at Secret Bay, and CEO of GEMS Holdings Limited.
“This is contrary to the law and those involved in such must cease and desist immediately”, Gregor added.
While commenting on integrity of The Residences at Secret Bay, Dominica’s Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Honourable Dr. Roosevelt Skerrit said that “when investing in Secret Bay, you can be assured of your investment. You can be assured of your return on investment.”
He further explains that the Secret Bay project is one that cannot be compared to any other in the Carribean, and continues to immensely strengthen the integrity of the Commonwealth of Dominica’s CBI Program. The Residences at Secret Bay will routinely monitor the consistent applicable laws and regulations regarding Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment programme as well as its operations.
