Citizenship by Investment

Program Overview

Dominica's Citizenship by Investment Programme is widely regarded as the best value CBI programme in the Caribbean — and arguably in the world. Established in 1993, it is one of the longest-running and most consistently operated citizenship programmes globally, with a track record of credible due diligence, transparent pricing, and reliable processing that has earned it a strong reputation among international advisors and investors.

The programme grants full citizenship of the Commonwealth of Dominica — not to be confused with the Dominican Republic — through a qualifying contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) or an approved real estate investment. The Dominica passport provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 140 countries, including the United Kingdom, the European Schengen Area, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Dominica imposes no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax, and no wealth tax on its citizens who are not resident in the country — making it one of the most tax-neutral second citizenship options available. The programme has one of the fastest processing timelines in the Caribbean, with a standard review period of approximately two months. The entire application is conducted remotely through a licensed advisory firm; no visit to Dominica is required.
