On 8 June 2024 Dominica raised its minimum contribution, aligning with the OECS Memorandum of Agreement signed in March 2024. Use current figures and confirm them with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.

Eligibility for this nationality

Brazilian nationals can apply for Dominica citizenship by investment. The programme is open by due diligence and investment rather than by nationality, so there is no Brazil specific exclusion at the time of writing.

Applications cannot be lodged directly by individuals. They must be filed through an agent on the official register kept by the Citizenship by Investment Unit. Every applicant goes through background checks.

Routes

There are two routes. The first is a non refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund. The second is a purchase of government approved real estate, which must be held for a defined period.

Since 8 June 2024 the minimum for a single applicant rose under the OECS alignment. Family applications carry higher amounts and additional dependents add further fees. Confirm the current figures with the official authority.

Timeline

Approval for a complete and clean Dominica file is commonly cited at around three to four months, followed by the citizenship and passport steps. Confirm the current service time with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.

Costs

Costs comprise the qualifying contribution or property purchase, plus due diligence, processing and agent fees. The figures below reflect the post June 2024 minimums. Confirm the binding amounts with the official authority.
