Citizenship by Investment
Dual citizenship from the Commonwealth of Dominica offers the region’s most affordable programme providing numerous business and residential advantages via two streamlined investment options.
Established in 1993, the Commonwealth of Dominica provides a successful and highly trusted Citizenship by Investment Programme; it offers investors dual citizenship, visa-free access to 120 countries, minimal taxation, is a signatory of double taxation treaties with the USA and CARICOM, full residence status, no residency requirements and a currency pegged to the US Dollar – fulfilled through a confidential 3-4 month application process.
Additional business advantages provided by the Commonwealth of Dominica include no restriction on the repatriation of profits, full exemption from import duties, corporate tax incentives and tax relief benefits. To qualify for their Citizenship by Investment Programme, investors can choose to make either a government fund contribution of as little as $100,000, or an investment in property to the minimum value of $200,000.

This highly affordable method of acquiring Citizenship also makes a significant contribution to Dominica’s significant and transparent investment programme. This continues to develop a resilient, long term and sustainable portfolio of infrastructure projects designed to lesson the effects of Climate Change. New and improved schools, roads, hospitals, a new international airport, as well as the promotion of a burgeoning offshore sector all benefit from the National Development Fund.
