Dominica

Citizenship by Investment Program

"

Dominica is famous for its lush rain forests and the Boiling Lake, one of the world’s largest volcanic lakes.

The Dominica Citizenship by Investment Programme was established in 1993 and is governed by the Dominica Constitution, the Citizenship Act (1978), and the Citizenship by Investment Regulations (most recently updated in 2024) – making it one of the most legally robust and internationally respected programmes available today.

The Dominica Citizenship by Investment Programme remains one of the most efficient, cost-effective, and globally recognised pathways to second citizenship, offering investors and their families immediate access to enhanced international mobility and long-term security.

With visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 140 countries, including key business and travel destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, a Dominica passport provides a powerful tool for both personal freedom and global opportunity.

Importantly, the programme is designed with flexibility in mind – no residency, relocation, or travel requirements are imposed, allowing applicants to secure citizenship without disrupting their existing lifestyle, business interests, or primary nationality.

As part of its continued commitment to integrity and international compliance, Dominica introduced mandatory interviews for applicants aged 16 and above in July 2023, further strengthening due diligence standards and reinforcing the programme’s reputation as a trusted and reputable citizenship solution.
