See how Dominica ranks against every other pathway your passport qualifies for.
1. Authorised agent engagement
Applications proceed through authorised agents under the CBIU framework. Confirm the current authorised-agent list on cbiu.gov.dm.
2. Due diligence and documentation
Identity, source-of-funds, and supporting documents are submitted for due diligence. Requirements change — use the unit’s current checklist.
3. Investment execution
Complete the EDF contribution or qualifying real-estate purchase as instructed after (or as required for) approval stages published by the unit.
4. Certificate / naturalisation formalities
On approval, citizenship documentation issues under Dominica’s process. Timelines and oath/interview requirements must be verified on the official site.
Timeline: The official CBIU investment-options page states the process typically takes 3–6 months from application submission to approval. Individual cases vary — confirm current expectations with the unit or an authorised agent.confirmed Source · 2026-10-24

UK visa-free access removed (July 2023)confirmed
The UK government announced that Dominican nationals would require a visa to visit the UK, ending prior visa-free access. Mobility for a Dominica passport is not static — check current UK and Schengen rules separately from marketing claims.

US partial visa suspension since 1 January 2026confirmed
Presidential Proclamation 10998, in force from 1 January 2026, partially suspended visa issuance to Dominican nationals for B-1/B-2 visitor visas, F/M/J student and exchange visas, and immigrant visas, with limited exceptions. The citizenship programme itself remains open.

EU request to phase out CBI by 1 June 2028confirmed
Eastern Caribbean governments have said the European Commission asked them to phase out citizenship-by-investment by 1 June 2028. The programmes are still open. The risk is to future Schengen visa-free access, not a suspension already in force and not a closure.

EU visa-suspension mechanism as a legal groundverifying
The Commission request is described as resting on the revised EU visa-suspension mechanism, under which an investor-citizenship scheme can be a ground for suspending visa-free travel. The specific EUR-Lex CELEX for that revision is still being pinned to the official text.

US$210,000 on the official EDF route for one applicant: US$200,000 contribution plus US$10,000 in fixed government fees (processing, due diligence, interview, and certificate). Checked 24 Oct 2026 on cbiu.gov.dm. Agent fees are extra. The interview line is marked verifying because the unit’s wording is inconsistent.

Yes, in part, since 1 January 2026. The State Department lists Dominica among countries whose nationals face a partial suspension of B-1/B-2, F/M/J, and immigrant visa issuance, with limited exceptions. That is a visa rule, not a closure of the citizenship programme.
No. The European Commission has asked Eastern Caribbean states to phase out CBI by 1 June 2028. The programme is still open. Schengen visa-free travel has not been suspended for Dominica. The risk is that visa-free access could be reviewed, not that the programme has closed.
The official CBIU investment-options page states 3–6 months from application submission to approval (checked Aug 2026). Individual cases vary — ask your authorised agent for current averages.
Dominica operates a government Citizenship by Investment programme administered through the CBIU (cbiu.gov.dm). Legitimacy of a specific application depends on compliance with current regulations and due diligence. This page is information, not legal advice.
Domestic law typically allows revocation for fraud or other disqualifying grounds. Confirm the current statutory language on official Dominica sources — pass2port marks the precise revocation text as verifying until cited section-by-section.
pass2port seed records dual citizenship as allowed for this programme. Always verify against current nationality law and your other citizenships’ rules.
Use the pass2port Dominica Mobility Index for a sourced destination count under CC BY-SA. Do not rely on undated marketing lists — UK visa-free access was removed in July 2023 (gov.uk).
Whether Dominica currently requires interviews for your applicant class is not confirmed on a dated official notice attached to this page. Confirm on cbiu.gov.dm or via an authorised agent; this item stays verifying until that notice is attached.
The EDF contribution floor is US$200,000 (official all-in US$210,000 for one applicant). Approved real estate is US$200,000 before government fees, and the 2026 guide states a single-applicant real-estate route from US$285,000, with a minimum hold. pass2port does not recommend a route — compare the official fee schedule.
No. pass2port provides sourced information for research. Applications go through authorised channels; immigration and tax outcomes require qualified professionals.
Not directly, and not from pass2port. A passport itself is never for sale — what the government programme actually offers is citizenship, granted through the CBIU after an application, a mandatory due-diligence review, and a qualifying contribution or real-estate investment; the passport document follows once citizenship is approved. There is no guaranteed outcome and no way to purchase the document on its own. Only apply through an authorised agent listed on cbiu.gov.dm — pass2port does not sell, broker, or facilitate applications.
