Donate US$200,000+ to Dominica's Economic Diversification Fund for full lifetime citizenship, with no residency requirement and approval typically in 3-6 months.
Dominica's Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) is the donation route of the Citizenship by Investment Programme, administered by the CBIU under Section 101 of the Constitution, the 1978 Citizenship Act, and the 2024 CBI Regulations. The non-refundable contribution funds infrastructure, healthcare, and climate resilience in exchange for full citizenship.
A single applicant contributes US$200,000, a main applicant with up to three dependants US$250,000, plus US$25,000-US$40,000 per extra dependant. Standard due diligence is US$7,500 for the main applicant. Approval-in-principle typically arrives in 3-4 months, total process 3-6 months. No residency is required and the spouse gains full citizen work rights.
This visa is ideal for high-net-worth families seeking a fast, donation-based second citizenship with no residency obligation and lifelong, hereditary status.
