Dominica Citizenship Application Requirements and Procedure
Dominica offers various citizenship by investment options, including purchase of a share in approved real estate projects starting from USD 200,000. Payments are normally required in 2 to 3 installments. The major amount of payment, which relates to the donation or investment, is paid once the citizenship approval is confirmed by the Dominican government. The whole process, from the time of submission of the application to citizenship approval, can take between 6 to 8 months.
Before you begin, you need to understand and meet the Dominica citizenship requirements for a smooth process toward securing your Dominica passport by investment.
Applicants for the Dominica citizenship programme must:
- Be at least 18 years old with no severe illness.
- Possess a clean criminal record.
- Provide evidence of a legitimate source of funds.
- Pass the government’s due diligence checks.
- Make a qualifying investment (donation or real estate).
Prior to getting citizenship approval, a thorough due diligence is carried out to verify sources of funds and the profile of the applicants. The due diligence process includes a mandatory online interview with an independent panel who assesses the sources of funds before granting the approval.
Country Information 
Fact File
Culture and History:
A former French and British colony, Dominica is a volcanic island with hot springs, high rainforest coverage, and a tropical climate. The population is predominantly Christian, and a Carnival celebration is held before Lent every year. Dominica is also home to the remaining population of the native pre-colonial Kalinago people.
Culturally, Dominica is a mosaic of African, Caribbean, and European influences, reflected in its Creole language, cuisines, music, and festivals. The annual World Creole Music Festival and Carnival showcase the country’s lively spirit.
The economy is a blend of traditional practices and innovative approaches, which fosters resilience and long term growth. It is dependent on agriculture and ecotourism, with a small but growing services sector.
Dominica is often called the “Nature Isle of the Caribbean.” It is home to 365 rivers, most of which are not navigable but provide hydroelectric power. The Champagne Reef, located off Dominica’s coast, is renowned for its unique diving opportunities, with volcanic activity that creates a natural underwater champagne effect through volcanic thermal springs on the ocean floor.
Dominica is known for having a high percentage of centenarians relative to its population, which is often attributed to factors like a healthy diet, a close-knit community, a clean environment, and an active lifestyle.
The citizenship by investment programme in Dominica offers individuals a chance to become a part of this nation and experience its natural splendour with a diverse cultural tapestry, sustainability, and a rich quality of life.
