Dominica’s citizenship by investment program was established in 1993 to help the country strengthen its economy. It has allowed the government to increase its direct investments in areas such as healthcare, education, agriculture, and infrastructure.
The Citizenship by Investment Program is set out in the regulations published pursuant to Section 101 of the Constitution and Sections 8 and 20 (1) of the Citizenship Act.
Citizenship is granted to qualified applicants within months with no residency requirements. Once the applicant is granted citizenship, S/he becomes a citizen for life with their family members.
Benefits:
- The Commonwealth of Dominica imposes minimal taxation, with an exception of no taxation on wealth, gift, inheritance, foreign income, or capital gains.

To qualify for citizenship as a single applicant, you will be required to make a government donation of $100,000.
