The Dominica Citizenship by Investment programme is one of the most cost-effective Caribbean routes to a second citizenship and passport. The outcome is citizenship, regulated by the national Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) and, regionally, by ECCIRA.
The regionally agreed minimum is US$200,000 [], either as a contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) or in approved real estate held for at least five years. Government and due-diligence fees apply per applicant, and, as an illustrative example, a single applicant's all-in cost is often quoted at around US$210,000 to US$215,000; confirm the current, complete fee schedule with the Dominica CIU before relying on it.
On the Mirabello Investment Migration Index Dominica scores well on value. It is frequently compared with St Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda and Grenada.
