About Dominica Citizenship Program
The Most Accessible Caribbean Investment Passport
With over three decades of proven history, Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment program is one of the world’s most respected and long-standing. It offers a discreet, efficient route to second citizenship through either a non-refundable contribution to the country’s Economic Diversification Fund or a qualifying real estate investment in a government-approved prime tourism development. Real estate investments are held for a minimum of three years and may then be resold.
Dominica offers exceptional value for individuals and families seeking enhanced global mobility, legacy planning, and lifestyle flexibility. A Dominica passport grants visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 140 countries, including the EU Schengen Zone, the UK, and China.
