A Caribbean paradise. And suddenly you belong.
Imagine an island where tropical forests run all the way down to the sea.
Waterfalls. Green mountains. A world that seems far removed from the rush, the obligations and the political debates back home.
And now imagine you are no longer a stranger there.
You are a citizen.
Dominica opens this route to you through an investment programme regulated by the state.
The legal basis is Section 101 of the Constitution, the Citizenship Act (Chap. 1:10) and the Citizenship by Investment Regulations 2024 (S.R.O. 8 of 2024, amended by S.R.O. 46 of 2025).
The responsible authority is the Citizenship by Investment Unit Dominica. Your application goes through a licensed agent.
This gives you access to a genuine second citizenship.
And without having to give up your life or move your residence to Dominica.
Your home stays your home. But the world gives you a second one.
Invest in a second citizenship. And in your own independence.
For some people, an investment means another house.
For others, a bigger portfolio.
You have the chance to use your capital to acquire something that goes beyond an ordinary asset.
A second citizenship.
Dominica offers you two routes to it:
- Economic Diversification Fund: You make a non-refundable contribution of USD 200,000 for a single applicant. For you as main applicant with up to three dependants, it is USD 250,000. A clear financial decision, at the end of which stand your new citizenship and your second passport.
- Approved real estate project: You invest at least USD 200,000 per main applicant in an approved real estate project. The holding period is three years from naturalisation. On top of this comes a government fee of USD 75,000 for the main applicant or USD 100,000 with up to three dependants. That way, your second passport comes with a property investment on your new home island.
Two routes. One goal: from now on, you belong to two countries.

250,000 USD

Approved real estate project

A decision for life deserves complete transparency on costs
You want to know what you are signing up for.
Not at the end. Before you make your decision.
On top of your investment, the following government fees apply:
- Processing fee: USD 1,000 per application.
- Due diligence fee: USD 7,500 for the main applicant, USD 4,000 per dependant.
- Interview fee: USD 1,000 per interview.
- Certificate of naturalisation: USD 500 per person.
You know the amounts. You know the route. Now you decide what your second citizenship is worth to you.

Your second passport is valuable. Your children's future is priceless.
You have earned your freedom.
Your children are still at the start of their lives.
What if you could give them an additional citizenship before they even know which paths they want to take one day?
Dominica offers you a remarkably far-reaching family route.
You may include your spouse and your children under 18.
Your adult children aged 18 to 30 qualify too, if they are in higher education and fully supported by you.
And your family does not end with your children.
Parents and grandparents over 65 whom you substantially support may also be part of your application.
Beyond the three dependants already included in the family contribution, each additional person costs USD 25,000 if under 18 and USD 40,000 if aged 18 or over.
Three generations. One decision. A new citizenship you can share with one another.

Your new passport begins with an honest, thorough review
Citizenship is a special right.
That is why Dominica checks carefully whom it grants this right to.
Every applicant is checked for a clean record and the source of funds.
All applicants aged 16 or over have an interview, usually virtually.
And here lies one of the great advantages for people in the middle of a busy life:
You do not have to move your residence to Dominica.
Neither before nor after naturalisation.
You keep running your business. You stay with your family. You live wherever you want to live.
And Dominica still becomes your second home as a citizen.

A decision today. In the end, a second passport with your name in it.
You do not have to turn your life upside down to acquire a second citizenship.
Dominica has created a regulated route for it.
- Your preliminary review: We check your eligibility and choose the right investment route.
- Your documents: gather, translate and certify them.
- Your application: submitted through a licensed agent.
- The first response: under the regulations, the authority gets back to the agent within three months of submission.
- The government review: due diligence and interview.
- Approval: then come the payment or property purchase and the government fees.
- Your new status: certificate of naturalisation and passport.
And then?
Then you hold a passport you may never have imagined before.
Your name. Your photo. Your second citizenship.
A second passport. Another piece of the world that belongs to you.
Some people collect passport stamps.
And some people travel with the citizenship of more than one country.
With your new passport, you appear internationally as a citizen of Dominica.
Which countries grant you visa-free entry is up to each destination country. Before every trip, you check the current rules.
The crucial difference remains: from now on, you have a second passport. A second national belonging. An additional way to shape your international plans.
Two citizenships. Your tax affairs remain a separate decision.
Your second passport changes your personal situation.
But it does not automatically change your taxes.
Dominican citizenship alone does not change your tax liability in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
What counts is your residence.
If you want to change your tax situation, that requires its own planning.
So you decide on two big questions separately: where do you want to belong as a citizen? And where do you want to live?
For people who want to give their family more opportunities
Perhaps you are an entrepreneur who wants to build a second citizenship without changing your daily life.
Perhaps you have adult children who are still studying.
Or parents and grandparents you want to include in your plans for the future.
Then Dominica is particularly interesting.
The programme suits individuals with a smaller budget, families with children up to 30 in higher education and applicants who want to include parents or grandparents over 65.
If you are looking for a fixed amount for a family of four and no interview for children, it is worth comparing Grenada or St Kitts and Nevis.
Your life is unique. Your second passport should match it.
Your decision for Dominica. The key answers.
What does Dominica citizenship cost?
From a USD 200,000 fund contribution for one person. For a family of up to four, it is USD 250,000. Fees come on top.
Do I have to live in Dominica?
No. There is no residence requirement, either before or after naturalisation.
Who has to attend the interview?
Every applicant aged 16 or over. The interview usually takes place by video.
When will I hear from the authority?
Under the regulations, within three months of submission. The response comes through your agent.
How long do I have to hold the property?
Three years from naturalisation.
Your second passport begins with a decision.
You have worked hard to build a life full of possibilities. Now it is about expanding them, for you and for your family. Talk to Daniel Taborek about your budget, your family and the route to your second citizenship. Find out which passport should enrich your future.
