Dominica
The nation’s main exports are agricultural and include coffee, cocoa, bananas, citrus fruits, and tropical fruits. Main exported manufactured products are rum, timber, and soap. Tourism, which includes a budding eco-tourism industry, is also an important driver of Dominica’s economy.
Dominica is named time and time again as one of the world’s happiest places in which to live, offering a tranquil lifestyle within a safe, peaceful, and pristine environment and a culturally vibrant and friendly community. The ‘Nature Island of the Caribbean’ is a tropical paradise and arguably, one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Benefits
Holders of Dominican passports can use them to travel internationally and benefit from the many visa-free travel regimes the Dominican Government has established with its allies across the globe. Some of the major hubs available to those travelling on a Dominican passport include the United Kingdom, with whom Dominica shares a long history, Singapore, Hong Kong and the European nations of the Schengen Area.
COMMITTMENT
– A contribution into the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) amounting to a minimum of USD 100,000 for a single applicant, and increasing depending on the number of dependants included in the application; or
– An investment in a designated real estate with a value of at least USD 200,000;
Further to this, a total of USD 8,750 for a single main applicant is required to cover government processing fees, due diligence fees, certificate of naturalisation fee and an expedited passport issuance fee. An additional USD 25,000 is also applicable if real estate is the chosen investment route. A further USD 1,200 may also be added for an expedited passport issuance process.
This means that the total capital outlay for a single applicant would amount to circa USD 108,750 if choosing the EDF contribution or USD 233,750 for the real estate investment route. This excludes any bank charges, statutory taxes and service providers’ professional fees.
