Dominica is focused on Citizenship by Investment, with two routes: a non-refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund or an investment in government-approved real estate.
Dominica's primary route to status is its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme, run by the CBIU and one of the longest-established in the world. It offers two qualifying options. The first is a non-refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF), which is the lowest-cost path and the most popular choice.
The second is an investment in government-approved real estate, typically shares in a resort or development, which must be held for a minimum period before it can be resold. This appeals to people who prefer holding a real asset rather than making a donation.
Both routes require passing Dominica's enhanced due diligence and applying through an authorised agent, and there is no residence requirement. If you are deciding between a donation and a property investment, ACME can talk through the trade-offs and likely costs with you.
