Dominica grants citizenship to applicants who pass strict due diligence and make a qualifying contribution. Nigerian nationals are eligible. There is no general bar on Nigerian citizens, though every applicant is vetted individually and an approved agent must file the application.
Applicants must be of good character, hold a clean criminal record, and show the lawful source of their funds. Confirm the present requirements with the official authority before acting.
There are two main options. The first is a contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund, which is non refundable. The second is the purchase of pre approved real estate held for a set minimum period.
The Economic Diversification Fund contribution starts at about 200,000 US dollars for a single applicant, with higher amounts for larger families. Approved real estate also starts at about 200,000 US dollars. Confirm the current thresholds and holding periods with the official authority.
Processing time depends on the strength of the file and the due diligence review. Many applications are decided within several months of filing. The official authority publishes current service standards, so confirm the present timeline before you plan around it.
