Eligibility for this nationality

Dominica's programme is open to applicants of good character from most countries, British nationals included, who pass due diligence and meet the investment and document requirements. There is no requirement to live in or visit Dominica to qualify. Applicants aged sixteen and over face mandatory interviews and due diligence checks under the current rules.

Routes

Two routes are offered. A contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund, which is not refundable, starting at 200,000 US dollars for a single applicant. Or an investment in approved real estate. On top of the contribution, applicants pay due diligence, processing and certificate fees set by the authority, and an interview fee for each applicant aged sixteen and over.

Timeline

Dominica processes applications through its Citizenship by Investment Unit, with due diligence the main driver of how long it takes. Confirm the current processing time directly, since it depends on checks and on how complete your file is.

Costs

Budget for the qualifying investment, which starts at 200,000 US dollars for the fund route for a single applicant, plus due diligence fees, a certificate of naturalisation fee per person and an interview fee for each applicant aged sixteen and over. Family size changes the total. Confirm all current figures with the authority.

Common questions

Can British nationals apply for Dominica citizenship by investment?

Yes. The programme is open to applicants from most countries, British nationals included, subject to due diligence and the investment requirements. Confirm the current rules with the CBIU.

Will a Dominica passport improve travel for a British citizen?

Not necessarily. A British passport already has very broad access, and visa free arrangements for Dominica passport holders have changed in recent years. Check the current passport access before relying on it.

Does taking Dominica citizenship affect my British citizenship?

Dominica allows dual citizenship, and the United Kingdom generally allows British citizens to hold another nationality. Confirm your position before acting, since personal circumstances vary.
