Brief overview of the program

Since its launch in 1993, the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program has been recognized as one of the most accessible and reliable worldwide. Typically, obtaining a second passport takes between 6 and 9 months. Applicants are not required to live in Dominica or pass language and cultural exams. The process involves preparing the necessary documents, passing a background check, and making a contribution of USD 200,000 to the Economic Development Fund or investing a similar amount in approved real estate.

Processing time from 6 months
Investment amount from USD 200,000
