Consistently the most cost-efficient route to full citizenship — a strong passport, the same core benefits, and none of the premium. Chosen by families who want a genuine second citizenship without over-committing capital, and by those securing a first foothold in the Caribbean.
Operating since 1993, Dominica has built its reputation on a simple proposition: a genuine, respected second citizenship at the lowest sensible cost. The passport it delivers travels widely, the process is straightforward, and the family provisions are generous — all at an entry point that leaves your capital free for other purposes.
It is the natural choice for families securing a first Caribbean citizenship, for those who want the benefits of a second passport without over-committing, and for anyone who values a clean, well-run programme over prestige for its own sake.
As elsewhere in the region, there is no requirement to live in, visit or travel to Dominica. Citizenship extends to your family and passes to future generations by descent.
Both routes lead to the same citizenship. The contribution is the most direct; real estate suits those who prefer to hold a tangible asset.
A one-time, non-refundable contribution to the EDF.
Single applicant or a family of up to four, in one contribution.
Investment in a government-approved development.
Held for a minimum qualifying period, then resaleable.
We review your goals, family and timeline in confidence, and confirm Dominica is the right fit before any commitment.
We assemble your file to the standard the CIU expects, engage a licensed agent, and submit your application for due diligence.
The government conducts rigorous background checks. On approval in principle, the qualifying investment is made.
Your certificate of registration is issued, followed by passports for you and every included family member.
Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to more than 140 destinations, including the UK, the Schengen area and Singapore.
The lowest sensible entry point for a full second citizenship — the same core benefits, with capital left free for other priorities.
No tax on worldwide income, wealth, gifts or inheritance for non-resident citizens — an efficient base for internationally mobile families.
Citizenship extends to your spouse, children and parents, and passes to future generations by descent — secured once, held for good.
