Dominica first launched their Citizenship by Investment programme in 1993 as a way for the Government to raise foreign investment to help support the countries economy and develop the Islands infrastructure. The real estate investment option was later introduced in January 2015. Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment programme is one of most cost-effective CBI offerings in the Caribbean. Here are two main investment routes that applicants can gain Dominican Citizenship through;

– Making an economic contribution (donation) to Dominica’s National Development Fund. The programme requires a minimum contribution of $100,000, plus fees.
– Investing in various Government approved real estate projects. The programme requires a minimum investment of $200,000, plus fees.

Until 1993 it was not possible to gain Dominican citizenship without residing in the country. The Dominican government changed that with the Economic Dominica Citizenship programme whereby the need for residency to gain citizenship was waived. Applicants making such a contribution are granted full citizenship for themselves and their family.
