The Commonwealth of Dominica consists of a number of sovereign islands in the area of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. It gained its independence from Britain in 1978. A program for obtaining Dominican CBI was created in 1991.

The last most important amendments to the program were made in 2014, to include cash donations and real-estate investment. The processing times for citizenship applications currently range between three and four months.

Dominica is a parliamentary democracy, part of the British Commonwealth, and a full member of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

The Main Benefits of Dominican Citizenship

  • The Dominica passport enables access to almost 90 countries without a visa, or by receiving an early visa upon arrival.

  • There are no external tax charges for new citizens.
  • It entitles you to special rights and benefits in the UK and other British Commonwealth countries.
  • Members of the applicant’s immediate family may be included in the application for citizenship.
  • It may be obtained as a second citizenship, without the need to renounce prior Israeli citizenship.
  • It is not necessary to reside in Dominica during the application or after obtaining citizenship.

The Process of Applying for Citizenship

The process starts by checking the applicant’s eligibility.

This requires:

  1. Determining the type and area of ​​investment in a development project that has been approved for the CBI program.
  2. Presenting a certificate that confirms that the applicant is in good health and does not suffer from any contagious diseases.
  3. Presenting a certificate that confirms lack of a criminal record.
  4. Filling out a special form.
  5. Most importantly, providing proof of the applicant’s original citizenship by presenting a valid passport.

After submitting the required documents, the application is processed immediately, providing that no documents are missing. Typically, it takes about 4 to 12 weeks to complete the full process; that is, no more than three months.

Costs of Obtaining Dominican Citizenship (in USD)

  1. For a single applicant: $109,250
  2. For an investor and their spouse: $164,000
