Dominica Citizenship by Investment
The Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program is one of the world’s oldest, most popular and most competitive routes to obtaining legal second citizenship.
Legal Basis
The Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program has been operational since 1993 and is legally entrenched in the Constitution of Dominica and the Citizenship Act. This Constitutional Act and subsequent amendments gives the Government of the nation the right to legally grant individuals with no former ties to the country Dominica citizenship based on investment, and grants these citizens the right to hold a Dominica passport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to submit a separate Dominica Citizenship by Investment application for each family member?
No, this is not necessary. Spouses and dependent children up to 28 years can be included within the same application to obtain Dominica citizenship by investment and a Dominica passport. You can also include your dependent parents and grandparents who are 55 years and above.
What makes investing in a Dominica second citizenship legal?
What makes the Dominica citizenship by investment program legal is the presence of a Constitutional Act that prescribes how an individual can acquire Dominica citizenship through investment, and ensures the citizenship granted is for life – meaning no one can revoke your Dominica citizenship even if government changes in the future.
The Constitutional Act explains exactly how the applicant can invest in Dominica citizenship by investment. The Dominica second citizenship program requires the investor to apply through an authorized agent and invest in government funds or approved real estate projects, business ventures or government bonds.
