Immigration Program
The Dominica Citizenship by Investment Programme is set out in the regulations published pursuant to Section 101 of the Constitution and Sections 8 and 20 (1) of the Citizenship Act.
The last amendment was made on 1 December 2016 in Legislation No. 38 of 2016. Through this program, a foreign-national that makes an economic contribution in the form of a donation to the Government Economic Diversification Fund, or a real estate investment, may become a citizen of Dominica.
The entity that manages applications and enforces regulations is the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Unit (CBIU), and citizenship granting is at the sole discretion of the CBIU director and senior examiners.
