How to obtain Dominica citizenship by investment
The economic citizenship program has been operating in the country since 1993, and does not require either a residency requirement or mandatory residence on the island. There are two ways to obtain citizenship and obtain a Dominica passport by investment:
- by means of a non-refundable contribution to the Government Fund of the country;
- investing in a government-approved real estate project.
To become a citizen for gratuitous investments in the economy, you must contribute the following amounts to the Fund:
- US $100,000 if only the investor is applying for citizenship;
- $175,000 US in case citizenship is obtained by the applicant together with his spouse;
- $200,000 US – for obtaining citizen status by the investor, his wife and children (no more than 2 people);
- US $25,000 for each additional dependent of the main applicant, excluding spouse.
Together with the investor, the following members of his family are entitled to Dominican citizenship:
- spouse;
- children aged 18 to 30 years;
- children with physical or mental disabilities, regardless of their age;
- the investor’s parents or his spouse who are over 55 years old.
To purchase Dominica citizenship by investing in government-approved real estate, you will need to invest $200,000 in it, regardless of the number of family members. In this case, it is necessary to pay a Government fee in the amount of:
- US $25,000 for investor (main applicant);
- $35,000 US for a family of 4: applicant and 3 family members;
- $50,000 US for a family of 6, including investor;
- $70,000 US if the applicant and at least 6 members of his family apply for citizenship.
The purchased property can be sold in the future, but not earlier than after 3 years. This investment option allows you not only to obtain a Dominica passport, but also to make a profitable investment in business.
