Why Dominica

Affordable ≠ Second-Rate · The Real Positioning of Dominica

Cheapest Caribbean CBI

EDF route: $200K minimum for a single applicant, or $250K for a main applicant with up to three qualifying dependants. The real-estate route also starts with a $200K investment, plus a $75K single-applicant or $100K family government fee.

Fast Processing

Passport in 2-4 months — 1-2 months faster than St. Kitts or Grenada. Ideal for clients who urgently need a second identity.

Core Visa-Free Coverage

Schengen 90 days, UK 180 days, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea — all the destinations Chinese professionals actually use.

Mature Program History

Launched in 1993 — 30 years of compliance and stable adjudication. Small country, but the program itself is old-school established.

Zero Residency Requirement

You never need to set foot in Dominica. Fully remote processing — oath of allegiance can be taken by video.

Tax Haven Jurisdiction

Non-residents owe zero tax on worldwide income. No inheritance tax, no capital gains tax. Favorable for offshore asset structuring.

Fit / Not a Fit

Is Dominica the Right Program for You?

Right fit if you…

  • Have calculated the full budget for the chosen route and family structure
  • Primarily want a backup identity + travel freedom
  • Need the passport in hand within 2-4 months
  • Care about practicality, not passport "prestige"
  • Are a business traveler who needs Schengen + UK visa-free

  • Need China visa-free entry (Dominica does not qualify)
  • Want a "prestige" passport for appearances (go with St. Kitts)
  • Are chasing investment return (the contribution is non-refundable)
  • Want to route your children into European education (go with Malta)

Frequently Asked

About this passport program

How much does Dominica Citizenship by Investment cost?
Dominica Citizenship by Investment currently starts from $200,000 USD. The real all-in budget depends on family size, due-diligence fees, government application fees, document translation/notarisation, and whether the chosen route is donation, real estate, or another qualifying investment.
How long does the application take?
The current reference processing time is 2-4 months. Actual timing depends on the citizenship unit, due diligence, document readiness, and whether the file requires follow-up evidence. Fastest historical cases should not be treated as guaranteed timelines.
How many visa-free destinations does it provide?
Dominica Citizenship by Investment currently provides about 143 visa-free or visa-on-arrival destinations. Visa-free access can change, so applicants should verify the latest official list before treating mobility as a deciding factor.
Is residence or a visit required?
The current residence or visit requirement shown on this site is: 0 days. Future interview, biometric, or residence rules should be checked against the official rule set at the time of submission.
Who is this program suitable for?
Dominica Citizenship by Investment is suitable only after the applicant has clarified budget, family composition, urgency, and use case. A second passport does not automatically solve tax residence, health care, long-term residence, or US immigration planning; those issues require separate review.

Why mention this here? Because a meaningful share of our passport clients are operating-company founders and institutional LPs — you don't only need a travel document, you need a partner who simultaneously understands regulation, cross-border structuring, IPO pathways, and asset placement. Ken's two roles share the same underlying playbook.
