Taxation Benefits

Citizens of Dominica, including citizens through investment, are exempt from paying tax on international dividends, interest, or royalties. The country is also free from income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax. This means pursuing Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Program can be a great financial opportunity for applicants who have revenue streams from other countries.

Discreet Dual Citizenship

When an applicant is granted citizenship in Dominica, that applicant’s home country will not be notified of their new citizenship, making this the perfect opportunity for people who are looking for the transaction to be discreet. Privacy is of utmost importance to the government in Dominica because its goal is to provide a safe haven when needed, which requires strong discretion.

Forward-Looking Investment

Not only can real estate investments provide returns, but the fact that this program allows applicants to add future dependents once approved and this citizenship can never be revoked. Even if Dominica decided to end its Citizenship by Investment Program, all Dominica passport holders would remain as such.

Why Dominica?

While many other Caribbean nations have been claimed by tourism, Dominica seems to be the best at maintaining its natural beauty and supporting pristine beaches amongst a rise in tourism. It is actually said that if Christopher Columbus, who helped the Spanish discover Dominica, was to visit the island today, it would be one of the only Caribbean islands that he still recognizes. It also has an incredibly strong economy with a currency tied to the US dollar, so investors can feel confident in their future.

Investment Options and Associated Fees

Investment Options and Associated Fees With one of the most affordable citizenship by investment programs, Dominica offers two routes to applicants pursuing citizenship. Each applicant can decide to invest in qualifying real estate or submit a contribution to the Dominica Economy Diversification Fund. It is worthwhile to note that Dominica was planning on increasing these minimum investment amounts but held off due to Covid-19.
1 OPTION

Real Estate
Investment

$200 000
This option requires investors to purchase ownership in properties that have been approved by the government of Dominica to qualify for this program. Often, luxury hotels, condos, or other accommodations qualify. The minimum amount required for a single applicant is $200,000, which must be held for at least 3 years until it can be sold. Please note that the holding period is 5 years if the new buyer shall qualify for citizenship.
The unique aspect of this investment type is that the $200,000 minimum stands for an applicant and spouse, as well as a family of any size. There are additional government fees and due diligence fees that exist on a per-person basis. Due diligence fees are $7,500 for the primary investor, and an additional $4,000 for a spouse, each child aged 16 or older, or other dependents aged 16 or older. Government fees start at $25,000 for the primary applicant and rise with each additional person listed on the application as well.

2 OPTION

Economy Diversification Fund

$100 000
The cheaper of the two options, contributing to the Dominica Economy Diversification Fund requires a $100,000 upfront investment for a single applicant. This option, unlike the real estate route, does require larger investments for each person added to the applicant’s application. For instance, an applicant and their spouse are required to donate $150,000, a family of four will need $175,000, and larger families will require $175,000 plus $25,000 for every additional dependent.
The due diligence fees for this option are the same as the due diligence fees for real estate investments. With a contribution to this fund, applicants are directly helping support Dominica and its residents, however, the investment is non-refundable and has no future profit potential.
