Lebanese nationals are eligible. Lebanon is not on Dominica reported list of banned nationalities, which covers Russia, Belarus, Syria and Northern Iraq. Applicants from a range of countries face enhanced due diligence, so plan for thorough background checks.
All applications go through an Authorised Agent, since the Unit does not accept direct submissions. Every applicant aged 16 and over must attend an interview and pass due diligence. Confirm the live eligibility position for Lebanese applicants with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
There are two main routes. The first is a contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund, which is not refundable. The second is the purchase of property in a project approved by the government, held for a set period before it can be sold. Confirm the current approved options and holding period with the Citizenship by Investment Unit before committing funds.
The due diligence and pre approval stage is commonly reported to take around eight to twelve weeks, with the full process typically running a few months from a complete filing. Confirm current scheduling with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
