Established in 1993, Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Program is one of the longest-standing initiatives of its kind. The government launched the program with hopes to stimulate economic growth by attracting foreign investment.

Since its launch, the Dominica Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Program has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading CBI programs—ranked the best globally for six consecutive years by the CBI Index.

The program offers a cost-effective route to citizenship. A single applicant can obtain citizenship in the country with only a $200,000 donation. The process is also straightforward and quick, with applications being processed within 90 days on average.

About DOMINICA

Officially named the Commonwealth of Dominica, Dominica is located in the eastern Caribbean Sea and was formed by volcanic activity.

The island country is known as the 'Nature Island of the Caribbean' due to its natural beauty. Almost the entire country is forested with remarkable waterfalls, hiking trails and glorious beaches. The country is also home to fascinating wildlife and sea life.

Dominica is committed to being at the forefront of the fight against climate change by becoming the world's first climate-resilient country.

How to obtain citizenship by investment in DOMINICA

  • Investment into a government approved real estate project with a minimum investment amount of $200,000

    Real estate properties include a selection of hand-picked projects which include exclusive five-star resorts that are managed by top international hotel brands and can be re-sold after 3 or 5 years, depending on who the seller is, without affecting citizenship status.

    Government fees apply on top of the required real estate investment amount for those who choose a real estate investment option.

  • A Non-Refundable Contribution into the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) with a minimum investment amount of $200,000 for a single applicant and $250,000 for a main applicant and up to three qualifying dependents.

    A $25,000 contribution is required for each additional dependent under 18 years old, or $40,000 for each over 18 years old.
