It is not possible to apply for Dominica citizenship for money on your own. It is only done via a licensed immigration agent. It is required by the law. Having chosen their immigration agent, the applicant can talk to the citizenship consultants who will help them to evaluate their chances of successful passport processing based on their personal circumstances and the data presented.
The applicant must choose the most appropriate financial option: a donation or a real estate investment in Dominica. Consultants with the hired immigration agent can assist you in that.
The applicant will be provided with a detailed checklist of documents and forms that need to be collected and filled out, respectively. Experienced citizenship consultants will assist you in this and will check all the documents to make sure they meet the official requirements. If the applicant would like to buy a property in Dominica, they will need to enter into a preliminary sales agreement (it is not necessary to make payments under the agreement at this stage).
After all the papers have been collected and sent to the agent, the citizenship specialists will prepare a package of documents and your application to the authorities. The full package will be handed over to the Government of Dominica via an authorized local representative, as required by the law. At this stage, it will be necessary to pay the state duties for the application processing and the background check regarding the applicant and their dependents, if any.
Your application will be accepted by the Government of Dominica. All the information submitted will be examined and verified. The applicant does not need to be interviewed in person.
Once the application has been reviewed by the Government and a decision is made, the applicant will be notified of the decision with a letter. This letter will be sent via your immigration agent.
Once your application is approved, the applicant will need to transfer the final payment in accordance with the chosen financial option (a non-refundable donation or a purchase of the real estate).
Once the applicant fulfills their financial obligations in full, they will receive a certificate of naturalization and a passport. At this stage, you will not need to visit Dominica. Passports and certificates will be sent to the address specified by the investor.
You can get a tailor-made offer by placing an advice request. Do contact a licensed immigration agent today to get Dominica citizenship for money as soon as possible and with NO INTERMEDIARIES!
Dominica (officially, the Commonwealth of Dominica) is not the same as Dominicana (officially, the Dominican Republic). These are different countries. The Commonwealth of Dominica is an island jurisdiction located in the Caribbean Sea in the Lesser Antilles region.
It does not boast the sandy beaches, but it has picturesque mountains, pristine rainforests, as well as some of the best places for diving and hiking in the Caribbean. Dominica is a politically and economically stable state with one of the lowest crime rates in the region.
The island which was discovered by the Spaniards and then colonized by the French and the British, remained a colony for more than two centuries. A tiny country with a population of only 75,000 became independent in 1978, and now is sustaining close relations with the United Kingdom while at the same time offering a diverse British, French, African and Caribbean mix of cultures. English is the official language of this Caribbean country, while its legal system is based on British common law.
The capital of the country is the city of Roseau. Its population is about 20,000. There are several higher education institutions in the island, including the State College, Roseau Branch of the University of the West Indies and Clemson University's Archbold Tropical Research/Education Center.
Dominica is a member of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, CARICOM, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the Caribbean Development Bank. The country has diplomatic missions in Washington D.C. and New York (USA), as well as Havana (Cuba), London (UK), Brussels (Belgium) and Beijing (China). Dominica also has consulates in Zurich (Switzerland), New Delhi (India), Ottawa (Canada) and Casablanca (Morocco).
The currency of the country is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$ or XCD), which is tightly pegged to the US dollar with a constant exchange rate of EC$ 2.7 per US$ 1. The presence of a stable currency pegged directly to the US dollar eliminates significant currency risks for foreign investors.
In order to successfully obtain a new passport under the Citizenship by Investment Program of Dominica, the following documents will be required:
All color copies must be notarized and legalized prior to filing. All non-English documents must be translated, notarized and legalized.
You do not have to make a donation or investment to qualify for Dominica passport and citizenship. It is also possible to get naturalized as a citizen of Dominica. To do so, you will first of all need to apply for residency there, and on this basis live legally in Dominica for 7 years, having been present in the country for most of each year.
Marriage to a citizen of Dominica will reduce your naturalization period down to 5 years. After you apply for naturalization, you will have to take the official language test (English) and the host country history test. If you apply for Dominica citizenship for money, no such test is required.
Adult citizens of Dominica obtain passports that are valid for 10 years. Persons under the age of 16 obtain passports with a five-year validity period. After its expiration or exhaustion of free pages, the passport can be extended/replaced in Dominica or at any consulate of this country abroad.
If you apply for Dominica citizenship for money, you can submit a shared application. It can include your spouse, dependent children (under 18 years of age or between the ages of 18 and 30 if they are university students). Under the Program rules, your child can be a biological child or a legally adopted one. Dependent parents and grandparents can also be added to the shared application (if they are over 55). If these persons are included in the application, you will be required to pay additional administrative and agency fees (for processing, background checks and passports).
To obtain Dominica citizenship for money, you can fulfill your financial obligations without additional commissions using US dollars, British pounds and euros. It is not possible to obtain Dominica citizenship for cryptocurrency at this stage. However, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be used to pay for the services of some licensed immigration agents.
The Government of Dominica will reject an application for citizenship for money if the applicant has a criminal record or if the applicant is unable to pass the background check. An application may also be rejected due to the national security considerations or the false information provided by the applicant. If an applicant was denied a visa by a country with which the authorities of Dominica have entered into the visa-free regime agreement, they will not be able to apply for Dominica citizenship for money until they have obtained this visa.
Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program offers its successful applicants virtually the same rights that are available to people born in the island, who are natives of Dominica, including the right to vote in the local elections.
