Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
United States citizens may apply for Dominica citizenship by investment. No nationality bar is reported for Americans. Applicants must pass due diligence, hold a clean record and show the lawful source of their funds.
The United States generally permits dual citizenship, so acquiring Dominican citizenship does not by itself affect US citizenship. Confirm current requirements with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
Dominica offers two main options, a non refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund or a purchase of approved real estate. The widely cited minimum contribution for a single applicant is 200,000 US dollars. Family applications and the real estate route carry different amounts.
Applications must go through an authorised agent rather than directly to the unit. Confirm the route that fits you with the official authority.
Published guidance points to a processing period of several months for complete applications, subject to due diligence. Treat any quoted period as indicative and confirm with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
Budget for the qualifying contribution or property purchase, government and due diligence fees, and professional costs. Amounts depend on family size and the option chosen. The table lists the headline items, and you should confirm each with the official authority.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Economic Diversification Fund contribution | From 200,000 US dollars for a single applicant (widely cited) | Non refundable, confirm with the authority |
| Approved real estate | Alternative to the fund | Minimum and resale rules set by the authority |
| Due diligence and government fees | Confirm with the official authority | Vary by family size |
