The Dominica Citizenship by Investment programme is open to applicants of most nationalities, and Chinese citizens are eligible to apply. Approval depends on passing the programme's due diligence checks rather than on the applicant's nationality.
Applicants must be of good character, hold no disqualifying criminal record and show that their funds were lawfully obtained. Confirm the current eligibility rules with the official authority.
There are two main routes. The first is a non refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund, which the government uses for public projects. The second is an investment in government approved real estate, which must be held for a set period before it can be sold.
Both routes require payment of due diligence, processing and government fees on top of the qualifying amount. Confirm the current structure with the official authority.
Dominica processes applications through the Citizenship by Investment Unit, which carries out due diligence before a decision. Confirm current processing times with the official authority, since service standards change.
The headline cost is the fund contribution or the real estate investment, plus government and due diligence fees that scale with family size. The table sets out the structure. Verify every figure before acting.
