Eligibility for this nationality

Vietnam does not appear on the list of nationalities that Dominica restricts from its citizenship by investment programme. Vietnamese applicants can apply on the standard basis, subject to due diligence, a clean record and proof of the source of funds. An interview is part of the process.

Confirm the current restricted nationality list and interview rules with the authority, since Dominica reviews and tightens its programme from time to time.

Routes

There are two qualifying routes. The first is a non refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund. The second is the purchase of real estate in a government approved project, held for a set minimum period. Both routes require approval by the Citizenship by Investment Unit and pass through due diligence.

Timeline

Processing usually takes several months from a complete filing, subject to due diligence and the interview. Confirm the current processing window with the authority, since timelines move with caseload and policy.

Costs

Costs include the chosen investment, government and processing fees, due diligence fees per applicant and any professional support. Family members add to the total. Confirm the current figures with the official authority before you commit funds.
