Dominica

About Country-

Dominica is an island of remarkably unspoilt beauty, where lush, green forests roll across hills that stretch from shore to shore. English is the nation's official language, but French is also spoken widely.

About the Programme-

Dominica's Citizenship-by-Investment Program has straightforward requirements and offers many advantages. A $100,000 donation, or a $200,000 property purchase on the island, establishes Dominican citizenship for the whole family, including children and parents. Naturally background checks are undertaken, but they are completed quickly and a decision is usually made within eight weeks of your application. Citizenship by investment in Dominica is available through two options. To qualify for citizenship, you can either make a donation of up to $100,000 to the government, or purchase real estate on the island starting from $200,000.

Investment Options-

The purchase of a property worth at least US$ 200,000

Contributing to the Economic Diversification Fund at the minimum value of US$ 100,000

As a citizen of Dominica, you can travel to 139+ countries visa free which includes the UK, Schengen states, Hong Kong and Singapore. Dominica citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 143 countries and territories, ranking the Dominica passport 33rd in terms of travel freedom

Procedures and time frame -

The applicant and their family are required to take an oath of allegiance before an authorized notary, justice of the peace, or commissioner of oaths. After pledging allegiance, the application for citizenship is processed further and the citizenship certificates are duly issued. Finally, the passport application can then be lodged and the passports issued. There is no physical residence requirement. However, the government encourages new citizens to become further involved in the economy, and substantial incentives are on offer to make increased involvement an attractive option. The successful applicant has the right to take up residence in Dominica at any time and for any length of time. Any applicant who has been denied a visa to a country with which Dominica has a visa-free travel agreement must subsequently successfully obtain a visa from that country in order to be eligible to apply. Pre-existing dependents of the main applicant and future spouses of persons who obtained citizenship through the Dominica Citizenship-by-Investment Program can apply for citizenship, subject to additional fees. Newborn children of persons who obtained citizenship through the program, born after the citizenship has been obtained, can be registered for citizenship at any time. Applications are processed by a citizenship-by-investment unit, a dedicated government authority within the Ministry of Finance that is responsible for the management of the program. Processing times for applications is currently three months from the receipt of a fully completed application.
