Dominica's Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has expressed optimism that additional CARICOM countries will follow Barbados, Dominica, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and Belize in implementing full free movement.
The initiative, which takes effect today, allows nationals of the four countries to move freely, live, work, and remain indefinitely in participating states without residency or work permits.
They will also have access to public primary and secondary education, as well as emergency and primary healthcare.
Mr Skerrit described the move as a decisive step forward on a matter that has been on the regional agenda for decades and emphasized its mutual benefits.
He says free movement allows the countries to fill gaps in critical areas, while giving citizens greater access to opportunities across the region.
