WHY CHOOSE DOMINICA?
Dominica, officially the Commonwealth of Dominica, is the home to pristine sandy beaches, lush green mountains, vast and unspoiled tropical rainforests and some of the best diving and hiking locations in the Caribbean. Dominica boasts a rich blend of British, French, African and Caribbean cultures, and is politically and economically stable with the lowest crime rate in the region. It offers the below listed privileges and many more to the applicants.
The Citizenship by Investment Program allows investors and their family members to obtain full legal citizenship and passports when they make a significant investment in Dominica which qualifies under the Citizenship by Investment Regulations. Presently, there are two qualifying investments: a contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund starting from $200,000, which excludes the attorney and application fees, or the purchase of authorized property valued at least $200,000. The application process takes around 3-4 months.
1- ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION FUND OPTION (EDF)
To qualify for Dominican citizenship through the Citizenship by Investment Program, applicants must make a non-refundable contribution starting at $200,000 for the main applicant to the EDF. The cost of the contribution will be determined by the number of dependants included in the application —this refers to anyone who relies on the main applicant as a primary source of income, including spouses, children, parents and grandparents.
