Dominica is known as the Nature Island of the
Caribbean. They say if Columbus was to return to the Caribbean now, the only
island he would recognize would be Dominica. The country boasts of 365
rivers, waterfalls galore, the world’s largest Boiling Lake, and National
Parks to create incomparable beauty of this island, which is situated
between two French territories Martinique and Guadeloupe.
Close proximity to the Caribbean Sea and perfect weather all year round make
Dominica the first class offshore harbor for international business. Upon
successful application, Dominica grants fast and legitimate citizenship and
passports.

of your life.
Granting of Citizenship
If you submitted all documents (i.e. application forms,
declarations of Guarantor, all supporting documents, etc.), passed all
necessary procedures (like due - diligence) and the interview with the
Prime Minister was successful, you can expect to receive your Certificate
of Naturalization and Passport within next 30 days as a rule. But it can
vary, depending upon the country of your current citizenship. The Minister
of Legal Affairs will personally sign the Certificate of Naturalization
authenticating you as a citizen of the Commonwealth of Dominica.

Procedural steps of the application for the
citizenship of Dominica.
Step one:
When the professional and legal fees have been paid, we will lead you through the collection and completion of the required paper work for the due diligence agency.
You need to print the Data form and e-mail or fax it to us. Based on the information provided in the data form we will advice you on the paperwork requirements and lead you through the process of collecting and organizing the documents. Applicant and members of the family should send some of the documents required by fax or e-mail. We will check the documents and will ask you to make corrections if necessary.
Step two:
We will contact a detective agency, authorized by the Government of Dominica to conduct due-diligence on the applicants for economic citizenship. They will quote the investigation price for your particular case. The price for the investigation has to be paid by the applicant directly to the accounts of the Detective agency.
When the original documents and fees are received by the agency, the investigation will commence.
From our experience it normally takes from ten to thirty days to receive the results from the due-diligence agency. It all depends upon the countries, where the checks have to be done.
Step three:
When the due diligence results are received, you have to transfer USD 100,000 (or more if your have more than two children) or USD 75,000 respectively into the Government account. Payment for the application of Dominica citizenship and second passport will require 100% prepayment.
The USD 15,000 or USD 25,000 which would have already been paid will be used to pay Government fees, procedural and stamp fees, our professional and legal fees.
The Government will send a letter of comfort regarding the acceptability of the application which also serves as a letter of invitation to visit Dominica for the final interview.
Main Applicant-Investor or the family should come for the interview with the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica or with the special Commission appointed by the Prime Minister, which is held every last Friday of the month. Sometimes the interview date can be changed due to the Prime Minister's business arrangements. We will inform you in advance of such change. We advise our clients to come at least two days beforehand, so you familiarize yourself with the country and its people and we have enough time to prepare you for such an interview.
You will be met at the airport by our representative and we will make sure that your stay in Dominica is enjoyable. It is a normal procedure to wait from 10 to 30 days after the interview for your Certificate of Naturalization and Passport. You do not have to wait for it in Dominica , unless you wish to extend your holiday in the country. As soon as we receive the documents, they will be sent to you by courier post.
Note. We can also provide assistance to our clients in other matters related to citizenship after they become citizens of Dominica . For example, passport renewals, issue of new passports if lost or stolen, Driver's License (if you have already got an existing one in another country), etc. We will always assist you with your investment projects, property acquisition or even setting up your business in Dominica . If you have questions, please refer to our FAQ page. If you still cannot find the answers to your question, we are just one phone call or click of the mouse away from you.
