Dominica Citizenship by Investment

Dominica Citizenship by Investment

One of the faster routes to a second citizenship

Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment programme grants full citizenship to applicants who make a qualifying investment and clear the government’s due diligence checks. There is no requirement to live on the island, and most files are decided within a few months. Aval Visa prepares your application and files it through an authorised agent; the decision itself rests with the Government of Dominica.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to live in Dominica to hold the passport?

No. There is no residence requirement, although applicants aged 16 and over must attend an interview.

Dominica allows dual citizenship. Whether you can keep your existing nationality depends on the law of that country.

Usually 3 to 6 months, depending on how quickly due diligence is completed.

Yes. A spouse, dependent children and dependent parents or grandparents can be added, subject to the programme’s age and dependency rules and to extra fees.

Do you meet these requirements?

Have your Dominica application assessed free of charge. Our team reviews your source of funds and your supporting documents before anything is filed, because due diligence is where these applications are won or lost.
