About Dominica Citizenship Program
The Most Accessible Caribbean Investment Passport
With over three decades of proven history, Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment program is one of the world’s most respected and long-standing.
It offers a discreet, efficient route to second citizenship through either a non-refundable contribution to the country’s Economic Diversification Fund or a qualifying real estate investment in a government-approved prime tourism development. Real estate investments are held for a minimum of three years and may then be resold.
Dominica offers exceptional value for individuals and families seeking enhanced global mobility, legacy planning, and lifestyle flexibility. A Dominica passport grants visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 140 countries, including the EU Schengen Zone and China.

How to Get Dominica Citizenship
Your Caribbean Passport in 8 Steps
We support you at every stage of the citizenship process. Our experts ensure your application is properly prepared and submitted for a successful outcome.
Personal Consultation
Begin with a confidential interview with Astons’ senior immigration consultants. We assess your goals and circumstances, then recommend the most suitable investment route tailored to your needs.
Document Preparation
Our dedicated citizenship specialists manage the collection, review, and legal formatting of all required documentation, ensuring full compliance with Dominica’s regulations.
Application Submission
Your application is submitted through an officially authorised local agent, as required by Dominican law. Astons handles all communication on your behalf.
Government Due Diligence
The Government of Dominica conducts a thorough background check, verifying your identity, source of funds, and legal standing. Astons’ pre-screening minimises the risk of delays or refusal.
Mandatory Online Interview
All applicants aged 16+ must complete a virtual interview in English. This verifies the application details and assesses for any potential risks.
Pre-Approval Notification
Once your application passes due diligence, you will receive an official Letter of Approval in Principle from the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CBIU).
Investment Transfer
Upon approval, you make the qualifying investment, either into the Economic Diversification Fund or a pre-approved real estate project. No funds are transferred before approval.
Passport Issuance
Following approval and completion of the qualifying investment, applicants receive a Certificate of Naturalisation and become citizens of Dominica for life. Recent reforms announced in 2026 may introduce an in-person visit for passport collection, subject to the implementation of the new rules.
