Dominica Citizenship by Investment – FAQs
What does Dominica citizenship actually cost?
EDF starts at USD 200,000 for a single applicant, USD 250,000 for a family of four. Real estate also starts at USD 200,000. In addition, applicants should account for due diligence, processing, and passport fees. UNO Capital puts together a full cost breakdown based on your specific family size before anything is committed.
How established is this program?
Dominica’s program has been running since 1993, one of the oldest citizenship by investment programs in the world. Over three decades of applications and approvals mean the process is well-tested, the rules are clear, and the government handles applications efficiently.
Will I need to travel to Dominica?
No. Not before applying, not during the process, not after approval. Everything is handled remotely from start to finish.
Can my parents be included?
Yes. Parents and grandparents aged 65 and above can join the application, provided they are financially dependent on the main applicant. Not many programs extend this far up the family tree.
Do I lose my current passport?
No. Dominica recognizes dual citizenship; your existing nationality stays intact throughout.
Which investment route should I choose?
Two options: EDF contribution or government-approved real estate, both from USD 200,000. EDF is faster with less administration. Real estate works better for those who want a physical asset out of the investment. Your advisor at UNO Capital will help weigh up which fits your situation.
What paperwork is involved?
Passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate where relevant, police clearance, bank statements, source of funds documentation, and a medical certificate. The exact list varies by applicant. UNO Capital provides a tailored checklist.
Is there an interview involved?
Yes, a short virtual interview for all adult applicants and dependents. It covers identity verification and intent. Most applicants find it straightforward.
Does my child automatically get citizenship?
Yes. Dominican citizenship is hereditary and permanent. Children born after you receive it are covered; it carries forward across generations.
