The first option for Citizenship by Investment involves an Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) contribution structured as follows: $100,000 for the principal applicant, $150,000 for the principal applicant and spouse jointly, $175,000 for the principal applicant and up to three dependents, $25,000 for each additional dependent under the age of 18, and $50,000 for each additional dependent aged 18 or older.
Additionally, applicants must cover processing fees of $1,000 per application, along with due diligence fees amounting to $7,500 for the principal applicant, $4,000 for the spouse, and $4,000 for dependents aged 16 and above. Furthermore, there are supplementary fees of $250 for the Certificate of Naturalisation and $1,200 for expedited passport issuance per person.
Another option to meet the Dominica citizenship criteria is by acquiring property valued at a minimum of $200,000 within a government-endorsed real estate project. The investment in real estate must be retained for a minimum of three years, and the property becomes eligible for resale under the citizenship program after five years.
Initial due diligence.
After the successful preliminary review, we will send you a Client Agreement (CA) for your examination and signature.
Once we have your signed agreement and the retainer fee, our legal experts will prepare and complete all required government forms and accompanying documents. In the case of a property investment, it will be necessary for you to enter into a sales and purchase agreement with the property developer. Our team will coordinate with both the property developer and the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Unit (CBIU) on your behalf.
Prior to submitting your documents, we conduct a thorough examination of your application to confirm it meets the standards of the CBIU. Our legal team performs final verifications before filing the necessary paperwork.
The CBIU will then perform its own due diligence, reviewing all submitted documents. You, along with any dependents over 16 years old, are required to participate in a compulsory interview. Throughout this process, we will maintain close collaboration with the CBIU to guarantee prompt and effective handling of your application.
The CBIU will evaluate your application and, once approved, you are required to fulfil all necessary contributions and settle any government fees that apply. Upon making these final payments, the CBIU will issue Certificates of Naturalization and subsequently dispatch your passports.
