A fast and accessible route to second citizenship
Dominica has operated its Citizenship by Investment programme since 1993, making it one of the longest-established routes in the Caribbean. The offering is deliberately narrow: two qualifying structures — a non-refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund, or the purchase of government-approved property held for a minimum term — rather than the wider menus offered by newer programmes.
Dominica sets the lowest qualifying threshold of any Caribbean citizenship programme, which is what makes it the default first option to model.
Visa-free entry to Singapore, South Korea, China, and the Schengen Area — an unusually strong Asian footprint for a Caribbean document.
No tax on capital gains, property, inheritance, or foreign income.
Approved property may be resold once the minimum holding term has passed, and may generate rental income in the interim.
Founders for whom the entry threshold, not the passport itself, decides whether a second citizenship happens at all.
Households securing a heritable position for the next generation without anyone changing where they live.
Investors who would rather hold Caribbean real estate than write off a non-refundable contribution.
Principals who want a second passport held in reserve against instability in their country of primary residence.
Non-refundable contribution to the government fund supporting economic development and social programmes. Single applicant: from $200,000.
Investment in pre-approved property projects with the right to resell after 3–5 years. Minimum investment: from $200,000.
Government fees and due-diligence charges apply additionally.
