Program Overview

Dominica is the second oldest program in the citizenship by investment industry and was established in 1993. The program was designed by the government to bring in foreign investors to improve two major sectors, the tourism industry, and the infrastructures of the country. Investors may obtain Dominica citizenship in 6-9 months through a real estate investment or a direct contribution to the economic development fund (EDF). The government and economy are stable, making it an ideal target for citizenship by investment.
