Always keep in mind that the less time spent doing over documents due to mistakes, the shorter the overall application time will be and the quicker you get your Dominica passport.
To help, these are what we are sharing here:
Simple but critical tips that ensure a smooth Dominica passport application experience.
Licensed Service Provider in Dominica
Beware of those seeking to make a quick dollar by posing as Dominica CBI agents for Dominica Citizenship through Investment.
Our company has been licensed as an agent for processing Dominica Citizenship by Investment applications since 1997, which makes us one of the first and longest serving service providers.
We understand that applying through a professional office where you live or within your region may be convenient in various ways. However, applying through an agent directly in the jurisdiction of your new citizenship can be speedier, save you money and be significantly more confidential.
Checklist Review
Take time and review the application Checklist that we provide. Ensure that you are aware of every document needed to apply for Dominica citizenship.
When going through your list, tick all documents that can be easily obtained, and make note of those that may be more difficult. In case some documents are difficult or impossible to obtain, we will advise you on substitutes which will be acceptable to the Government, and our company will help you to resolve the issue.
It is also important to note that most documents have specific certification requirements depending on the country of origin, we will advise you according to your circumstances.
Validity of Documents
Bank Statements, Employment Letters, Utility Bills, Professional References and Police Reports are valid for 3 months from date issued.
Therefore, please ensure that all required documents are up to date.
Doing this will avoid deferral or delay of your approval by the Government of your application, especially if your positive due diligence results have been received.
Perfect Dominica Citizenship Paperwork
With this everyone’s job is easier, as it makes processing swift and easy. As discussed earlier, we will vet all paperwork before submitting to Government, and you will be informed of errors or questions to be dealt with in a timely manner.
Again, the better the paperwork, the quicker you are able to finalise your document collection and the faster we are able to submit your application and receive your approval.
Notarization/Certification of Citizenship Paperwork
This detail appears simple but somehow at times gets ignored or forgotten.Not only must photocopies be notarized or certified as instructed, they must also be stamped: “True Copy of the Original”.
Without this, certifications are considered incorrect.
Certified Translations
The 3 points stated below are based on frequently asked questions by applicants:
- All translations must be done by a Certified Translator or Translation Company.
- You cannot translate your own document.
- Legal and medical stamps that are not in English must also be translated.
Please, save yourself the trouble of requesting a translated document again simply because one of these key requirements are not met.
Your Health Status and Citizenship by Investment
There is no need to get scared, as it is important to be in good health and only severe medical conditions are of concern with regard to your Dominica citizenship by investment application.
If uncertain about any medical condition that you may have, please let us know.
Spelling of Name for Dominica Citizenship Program
Let’s talk about names, especially ensuring that they are written correctly and consistently in all documents.
This is of importance especially when converted into the roman alphabet from the original writing system (eg. Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi), as this can easily lead to spelling differences such as:
“Mohammed/Mohamed”; “Faysal/Faisal”; “El Sayed/Elsayed/El-Sayed”; “Baron/Varon”; “Michael/Micheal”; “Aleksandr/Alexander”.
Ethnic diversity lies at the heart of any citizenship by investment program, and in English different spelling means different name.
This said, please avoid these mistakes and help us to get you your Dominica citizenship fast.
Avoid delay in processing your application by ensuring that your bank, former educational institution, job etc., enter your correct name spelling on bank statements, transfers, job letters, university and marriage certificates.
Dominica Citizenship by Marriage
Generally speaking, if a foreigner marries any person of Dominican nationality (by birth, naturalisation, registration), such foreigner can acquire Dominica citizenship by marriage by applying to be naturalised as a Dominica citizen after 3 years of continuous residence in Dominica.
In relation to citizens who obtain Dominica citizenship by donation or investment as a Single Applicant but at the time of application was already married then such a person can add his/her spouse at any time after his naturalisation for an additional US$75,000 donation to the Government.
If a Dominica citizen who obtained his citizenship through investment program marries after he was naturalised as a citizen and his spouse cannot fulfil the requirement of continuous residence for 3 years in Dominica, then the only option for naturalisation as Dominican is to apply as a Single Applicant through CBI and donate US$100,000 to the Government.
However, if the application is submitted within 1 year of having obtained citizenship, the donation required to the Government is US$50,000.
Dominica Citizenship by Descent and by Birth
Dominica citizenship law allows for the acquisition of Dominica citizenship by birth or by descent.
Dominica citizenship by birth is automatically conferred to any individual who is born in Dominica on the basis of jus soli, also known as “right of the soil”, irrespective of the nationality of his/her parents.
To receive Dominica citizenship by descent - a child must be born to a parent who was born in Dominica or naturalised as a citizen of Dominica. A child who is born outside of Dominica to a parent who is a Dominican citizen can be registered as a citizen of Dominica.
These are important Dominica citizenship benefits as they allow for Dominica citizenship to be passed on from one generation to another after an individual has been naturalised through the CBI Program. The acquisition of Dominica citizenship through naturalisation by foreign nationals is provided for under Section 8 of the Dominica Citizenship Act.
Dominica Citizenship by Investment 2023
The Most Cost-Effective Program on the Market
In comparison to other programs, Dominica citizenship through investment offers the most attractive fees and investment options both in terms of the Donation to Government and Real Estate investment option.
Because of its affordability, interested individual investors or investors with their families can realistically afford to apply for Dominica citizenship.
The Agent you Can Trust
Being a Government licensed agent for more than 21 years, our company offers the stability and experience you need in an authorised agent.
In this you can be confident, bearing in mind that over a 20-year period, your Dominica passport will have to be renewed at least twice, since passports issued to adults are valid for 10 years (5 years for children 15 and below).
What can be better than knowing that your Dominica citizenship agent is still operational after 20 or 30 years? With the result that after all those years, your file is easily located and processed through an agent with whom you are familiar?
This is the reassurance and comfort that our customers have enjoyed for the past 21 years! Be part of it.
Citizenship by Investment Dominica Program – More Reasons to Apply
Dominica Passports Valid for 10 Years
Knowing that your Dominica passport has to be renewed only once every 10 years without visiting Dominica, brings peace of mind. Most competing programs offer 5 years passport while some have minimum residency requirement or require your physical presence in order to renew your passport.
Passports issued to citizens of Dominica 16 years and older are valid for 10 years and for children up to 15 for a period of 5 years.
Confidential Application and Due Diligence Process
You submit your application to us and we in turn submit to the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CBIU).
Mindful that due diligence is a core component of the program, the CBIU will pass on relevant information to a Government appointed agency to conduct your background check, which will be conducted as confidentially as possible without notifying your current country of citizenship.
We as an Agent will conduct preliminary due diligence in house and will inform you if we notice any specific issue that may affect your application.
No Mandatory Residency or Travel Requirement
Dominica passport by investment program has a rigorous regulatory framework, and as such has systems in place that made it possible to not impose any residency or travel requirements.
Although interview and travel for applicants prior to approval was once part of the process, this is no longer so, as remote online interviews will be conducted.
Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program 2023
Its Social and Economic Importance
Why does this matter?
Dominica Citizenship by Investment program either through Donation or a Real Estate option is benefiting the economy of Dominica through the development of infrastructure, hotel and resort projects, as well as the creation of jobs.
Using the funds from CBI program, the Government of Dominica has created a source of revenue that is put towards diversifying the economy.
Therefore, as Investors in Sanctuary Rainforest Eco Resort and Spa or Donors to the Economic Diversification Fund, applicants can be proud of their contribution to helping the Government accomplish its development and job creation goals.
Let’s take a look at a bit of history about the program’s origins.
In Dominica, the need for alternative forms of economic activities became evident when the island lost preferential treatment for its banana exports to the UK.
Plus, in addition to stiff competition from large banana producers in South and Central America, identifying alternative sectors, other than tourism and agriculture, that would contribute to the creation of a self-sustained economy has been a challenge.
The Dominican Citizenship by Investment Program, then named the Dominica Economic Citizenship Program up to 2015, along with the financial offshore services sector were therefore introduced as a means of generating additional revenue during the 90’s and have since been important economic sectors in the country.
Thankfully, through the Program, contributions by applicants to the Economic Diversification Fund have provided funding for the development of IT, public infrastructure, schools, and health care, while the introduction of the Real Estate project Option has elevated the island’s tourism product through the construction of hotels and resorts.
Since 2019, the Sanctuary Rainforest Eco Resort and Spa become an important player in further developing Dominica’s product as an eco-tourist destination.
Job Creation
With the foregoing in mind, Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment program’s direct impact on job creation is clear.
In his 2018-2019 Budget Report, the Prime Minister of Dominica stated that about 450 construction workers were at the time employed at the first resort constructed under the Real Estate Option of the program.
In the same address, the Prime Minister also revealed that the citizenship by investment program played a key role in funding the expansion of a Pilot National Health Insurance in Dominica.
Meanwhile, Vital Developers Ltd., Developer of the Sanctuary Rainforest Eco Resort and Spa, has estimated that about 160 jobs would have been created during and after construction.
Climate Resilience
How is Dominica citizenship through investment related to climate resilience?
By creating a source of funding in a time when foreign aid has dwindled and countries are seeking sustainable means to grow their economies, Dominica passport by investment has contributed by:
- Strengthening Dominica’s ability to respond to climate change through the construction of proper, resilient bridges and roads as a disaster mitigation measure;
- Injecting funds for the rehabilitation of schools, community resettlement and relocation projects in safer areas;
- Creating a direct pathway for foreign direct investment allowing Dominica to be better able to further diversify its economy in 2023 and onwards through the creation of new sectors;
The Sanctuary Rainforest Eco Resort and Spa is designed to be climate resilient, capable of withstanding 8.0 magnitude earthquakes and hurricane force winds of up to category 5.

Dominica is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the larger islands in the Lesser Antilles but has one of the smallest populations, last estimated at 75,000. It is a peaceful, relaxing Caribbean island.
This beautiful island is famously referred to as the Nature Island of the Caribbean. Dominica is a mountainous island covered in lush green vegetation. The island’s heavy rainfall supplies 365 rivers, many waterfalls and an underground water table with its supply of fresh water year round.
The many rivers in Dominica are notable major attractions. The island is also known for its hot springs, the second largest boiling lake in the world, and resident population of Sperm Whales, and a vibrant and healthy marine environment. Some of the best diving in the Caribbean is found in the waters off the Nature isle. In addition to the natural features, the flora and fauna provide natural habitats for a wide variety of animal and plant species. Dominica is the home of the Sisserou Parrot, found only in Dominica. Dominica is one of the few countries with a living population of indigenous Kalinago (Carib) Indians, descendants from South American Indians. Today, there is a population of 3000 Kalinago Indians residing at the Kalinago Territory, where the culture and lifestyle of the tribe is displayed publicly as tourist attractions at the Kalinago Barana Autê. Dominica is ideal for retirement living. The currency of Dominica is the EC dollar and is valued at XCD 2.71 to 1 USD and average between 3 and 4 dollars to the pound and Euro. The health care services in Dominica are up to date, and the local infrastructure is modern and being upgraded to international standards.
Dominica is also a country that embraces a clean green living. All of its resources, forests and natural habitats are conserved and utilized in only the most sustainable ways. This is an island where the government and the people focus on conserving all the island’s natural resources, and all public actions are carefully assessed for their impacts on the current and future health of the environment, while building up new economies around sustainable agriculture and ecotourism.
The economy of Dominica has depended mostly on tourism and agriculture for revenue, but in more recent times, the offshore financial service sector and the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program have served as an important means to successfully diversify the economy and generate revenue.
A flight over this mountainous island reveals why it was the first island sighted by Christopher Columbus on his second Voyage to the New World in 1493. Dominica is dubbed the “Nature Island of the Caribbean” and is affectionately referred to as land of 365 rivers, “a river for every day of the year” by local residents.
