How to obtain Dominica Economic Citizenship by Investment
In 1993 the concept of Citizenship through investment was introduced whereby the residency requirement was waived. This amendment to the Citizenship Act meant that for a stipulated investment, persons could apply for Dominica citizenship.
Government views this program as one component of its national capital mobilization portfolio towards its ultimate goal of national development and as such intends to channel capital from the program towards public and private sector projects where a need is identified.
