About Dominica

A Dominica passport is obtained by birthright or by naturalization. In addition, Dominica has a citizenship by investment program. The country spends the money received on the development of green energy, the construction of hurricane-resistant buildings, the fight against poverty and unemployment.

Dominica is a country in the Caribbean, which is located on the island of the same name in the Lesser Antilles group. It is called the "reserve country": there are 31 national parks in the country.

In Dominica, you can relax on beaches with volcanic sand, see boiling lakes and tropical rainforests, watch rare bird species or go on a cruise.

Investment conditions

Investors can choose one of two options:

$100,000+ — a non-refundable contribution to the Economy Diversification Fund;
$200,000+ — a purchase of the real estate.

The contribution sum depends on the family size. A contribution for a married couple is $150,000, for a family of four except without the investor’s siblings — $170,000. Participation of an adult sibling costs another $50,000, and participation of any other relative, starting with the 5th one, costs $25,000 per additional applicant.

Real estate investments don’t depend on family size. Investors can buy shares in a property approved by the government, for example, a hotel. The property can be sold 3 years after, but as long as the buyer doesn’t participate in the citizenship programme. To sell the property to someone also participating in the Dominica citizenship programme, the investor must wait 5 years.

Besides investing, an applicant pays a Due Diligence fee for every person over 16, government fees and a services fee.
