Dominica Pathway to Citizenship Overview

Dominica Citizenship becomes effortless due to the Dominica Golden Visa, a program that paves a clear, straightforward path to the dreamy Caribbean lifestyle.

Guarantee rentability in a country with a rising economy via the acquisition of a Real Estate property, or let it become your peaceful, stable, safe haven, all the while enjoying the numerous benefits its passport enables.

How to get the Dominica Golden Visa and become a Citizen

Ensuring you supply the correct documentation will vastly streamline the process and shorten the time until you have this coveted passport in your hands. Between forms, photographs, copies of a valid passport, as well as medical checks, birth, and marriage (if applicable) certificates, the list is extensive. Even so, knowing which documents is only but one step.

You still need to find the right property for you, and only some Real Estate properties qualify for the Dominica Golden Visa. However, do not let this deter you from acquiring the Dominica passport. Investment Visa has an entire team dedicated to advising investors worldwide to citizenship in Dominica and contacting us is the first step toward guaranteeing it.

Benefits of Dominica Citizenship

Dominica

Island Living

With Dominica citizenship, you guarantee not only the right to travel to live and work in the country but also to enjoy a more relaxed, calm lifestyle which is typically Caribbean, and bask in the natural wonders Dominica has to offer.

Tax-Friendly Country

One of the greatest benefits of being a Dominica citizen is that the country boasts an immensely attractive tax regime, with no taxation on wealth, gifts, inheritance, foreign income, or capital gains.

Visa-free Travel

As a citizen, you are entitled to hold the powerful Dominica passport, which will allow visa-free entry to over 135 countries. Ranking 33rd in the 2023 Global Passport Index, travel to the European Union Schengen Area countries, with no obstacles in the way.

United States B1/B2 Visa Unlocked

Due to good relations between the two countries, Dominica citizens are eligible to apply for the United States B1/B2 Visa, which unlocks long multiple entries to the country.

Minimal Requirements

There are no stay requirements in order to hold the Dominica citizenship. The process to acquire the passport can also be done entirely remotely, without any need to ever visit the country.

Family Inclusion

You can bring your family and gift them a second powerful passport, a legacy that endures into the future. Your spouse, children under the age of 18, or up to 30, if they are studying, or without an age limit, if they have a physical or mental education. Parents and grandparents are also eligible. Please keep in mind further dependents incur additional fees.

Investment Options for the Dominica Golden Visa

The Dominica Golden Visa boasts two options, though only one, the purchase of Real Estate, bears any excellent benefits for the present and the future.

Dominica

Real Estate

Acquiring Real Estate property represents an opportunity for portfolio diversification and maximization of potential profitability. With a minimum investment of USD $200,000, Dominican citizenship is within reach.

Other Options 

A simpler, more concise Citizenship by Investment program, the only other alternative Dominica offers is a contribution option of USD $100,000 to the Economic Diversification Fund, which supports a variety of projects in the country. Application and processing fees also must be considered, as well as family inclusion fees, further increasing the amount. In the end, this option does not represent worthwhile consideration, as it is strictly a donation, and opens no path for a return on the initial investment.

Investing in Dominica Real Estate

With much of its territory unspoiled by human touch, the availability of Real Estate is limited in Dominica. Only certain, government-approved Real Estate projects qualify for the Dominica Golden Visa, including villas, shares in condominiums, and upcoming developments. Due to its requirements of holding the acquired property for only three to five years, the prospect of second-lifetime citizenship becomes even more enticing,

and Dominica truly becomes a serious contender among the Caribbean countries. It is important to have a licensed intermediary as the partner to help guide you through the intricacies of the Dominica Citizenship by Investment program. As a certificated agent, and with a team backed by decades of experience, Investment Visa is the right choice going forward.

Timeline

Since the government regulates the Real Estate market, only approved projects are eligible for the Dominica Golden Visa. Our advisors have deep knowledge of how to navigate this program and have designed the following guide for your information.

Step-by-step process

1

Investment Selection

Out of the two existing options, only Real Estate represents an opportunity to obtain a return on the investment, guaranteeing a safe haven and a potential return on the investment.

2

Funds for Investment

Ensuring there are sufficient funds for the entire process is fundamental for the process to occur without issue. Gathering them beforehand.

3

Documentation Check

As part of the services Investment Visa provides, we will inform you of all the documentation necessary for a successful application, and meticulously guarantee it is to the satisfaction of the governmental standards.

4

Citizenship Application Submission

Encompassing the submission of the documentation, the time necessary for the conduction of due diligence and for the property purchase, this step will take the bulk of the time until the passport is in your possession.

5

Oath of Allegiance and Collecting Your Passport

After a successful application, the funds will be retrieved, and the investment will take place. You will be required to participate in an Oath of Allegiance ceremony, which must be signed before a Public Notary.
