The new rules for those who seek Citizenship of Dominica will come into force on September 15, 2022.
The terms of the Citizenship of Dominica program for investment amounts remained the same. You can choose either a non-refundable contribution to the government fund, The Economic Development Fund, (from $100 000 USD per applicant) or participation in one of the authorized real estate projects (from $200 000 USD). Please note that these amounts do not include government fees and legal fees.
