Dominican citizenship by investment

Citizenship of Dominica is one of the most accessible and, at the same time, effective second passport programmes in the world. It enables investors to obtain Dominican citizenship through investment via a non-refundable contribution to a government fund or by purchasing real estate from an approved list of projects.

Thanks to its relatively low entry threshold, Dominica’s citizenship programme remains a highly sought-after option among investors looking to secure a second passport with minimal costs and a straightforward application process.

The process takes, on average, 3–5 months and is conducted entirely remotely, with no requirement to travel to the country, attend an interview, or meet any residency obligations.

In addition, the programme is known for its high level of transparency, rigorous Due Diligence checks on applicants, and a strong reputation in the international investment migration market.

Price of legal services: 40 000 USD

The cost of obtaining citizenship

The programme offers two primary participation options, allowing investors to choose the most suitable strategy: minimising upfront costs or preserving capital through a real asset.

Non-refundable contribution to the National Development Fund (NDF)

Participation terms:

• from 200 000 USD — contribution to the government fund;
• from 7 500 USD — Due Diligence fees;
• from 40 000 USD — legal and advisory services.

Upon successful completion of the Due Diligence process and receipt of initial approval, the investor transfers the funds to an escrow account. The final decision on granting citizenship is made only after this step.

Advantage: the simplest and fastest route to obtaining citizenship.

Disadvantage: the contribution is non-refundable.

Real Estate Investment

An alternative option is the purchase of property from a list of projects approved by the Government of Dominica.

Terms:

• from 200 000 USD — investment;
• 1–2% — escrow fee;
• from 75 000 USD — government fees;
• from 7 500 USD — Due Diligence;
• from 40 000 USD — legal services.

The property must be held for a minimum of 3 years, after which it may be sold.

Advantages:

• a liquid asset;
• potential for rental income;
• a stronger connection to the country.

Disadvantages:

• a more complex application process;
• ongoing maintenance and holding costs.
