Dominica citizenship by investment History
Dominica's Citizenship by Investment program, which introduced in 1993, has made this program one of the longest-running economic citizenship programs in the world. The Citizenship by Investment Unit (CBIU) is a government authority that handles all matters relating to citizenship by investment in the Commonwealth of Dominica. The citizenship program through investment is regulated in the published regulations based on Article 101 of the Constitution and Articles 8 and 20 (1) of the Citizenship Law.

Steps to obtain citizenship through investment
In the first step, before the applicant invests, our team checks a copy of the person's passport, before the government has issued the original approval, and provides the approval response within 24 to 48 hours. A down payment is required to open your application. In the next step, you must collect your documents and submit them to the government of Dominica. We will help you in this process.
In the next step, your request will be submitted to the government along with the expert review report. Then the government makes its decision about granting citizenship and then you are invited to pay the fees. In the last step, the citizenship certificate and passport will be issued in your name and after that, you have to pay the remaining fees.
