The Guide to Obtaining Caribbean Citizenship A Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Research and Choose an Authorized Agent

The first step in obtaining Caribbean Citizenship is to research and choose an authorized agent. The government of Dominica has authorized several agents to assist with the Citizenship by Investment Program. These agents can help you navigate the process, provide guidance on investment options, and help you with the necessary paperwork.

Step 2: Choose an Investment Option

The next step is to choose an investment option that meets your needs and preferences. There are two investment options available under the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program:
  • Non-refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund: This option requires a minimum contribution of $200,000 for a single applicant. The contribution amount increases for families or groups of applicants. This investment option is non-refundable.
  • Investment in pre-approved real estate: This option requires a minimum investment of $200,000 in a pre-approved real estate project. The investment can be sold after three years, and the investor can recoup their investment, minus any applicable fees.

Step 3: Gather and Submit the Required Documents

Once you have chosen an investment option, you will need to gather and submit the required documents. The documents required may vary depending on your circumstances but typically include:

  • A completed application form
  • A certified copy of your passport
  • A police clearance certificate
  • Proof of your investment, such as a bank statement or an investment agreement
  • Proof of your source of funds
  • A medical certificate
  • Your authorized agent can help you prepare and submit the required documents.

    Step 4: Application Review and Approval

    After you have submitted your application and the required documents, the government of Dominica will review your application and conduct due diligence checks. The due diligence checks may take several weeks to complete.

    If your application is approved, you will be required to pay the remaining balance of the investment amount. Once the investment amount has been paid, you will be issued a Certificate of Naturalization.

    Step 5: Receive Your Caribbean Citizenship

    Congratulations! You are now a citizen of Dominica.
