Dominica citizenship program

Flag Icon

Dominica is a country located on the island of the same name in the Caribbean Sea. The island is named in Spanish in honor of its opening day - Sunday. The English and French colonialists have long disputed the right of ownership of the island. In 1763, Dominica officially became a colony of Great Britain, and achieved independence in 1978. Dominica is sometimes called the "Caribbean Island of Nature", which apparently reflects its pristine natural beauty. It is the youngest island among the Lesser Antilles,
The island is actively visited by tourists. The capital of Dominica, the city and port of Roseau— occupies a dominant position on the island. Melville Hall Airport is located near the capital. The second most important place is occupied by the city of Portsmouth.

Real Estate Prices in Dominica

  • Apartments and Condominiums: In the capital, Roseau, and its surrounding areas, apartment prices start at $200,000. These properties are often located in modern residential complexes with amenities such as pools, gyms, and security. In more prestigious areas or along the coast, prices can reach $400,000 or more.
  • Houses and Villas: The cost of houses and villas in Dominica varies depending on location, size, and ocean views. Villas with views of the Caribbean Sea or located in scenic mountainous areas can range from $500,000 to several million dollars. For example, luxury villas with private beaches or large land plots are often priced between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000.
  • Land Plots: For those looking to build their own home, Dominica offers a wide selection of land plots. Land prices can start at $50,000 in less developed areas and reach several hundred thousand dollars for plots with ocean views or located in popular tourist zones.

Dominica offers one of the most attractive citizenship-by-investment programs in the Caribbean. The minimum investment in real estate required for citizenship is $200,000. The investor must hold the property for at least three years. Alternatively, a donation to the country’s economic fund is also an option for obtaining citizenship.

The real estate market in Dominica is steadily growing, driven by interest from international investors. The growth of tourism and environmental projects is increasing demand for real estate. The market is expected to continue growing in the coming years, particularly as wealthy individuals seeking second citizenship show increasing interest in the country.

As in any other Caribbean region, investors should consider potential natural risks such as hurricanes. However, Dominica is actively developing infrastructure and offers insurance solutions to protect properties from natural disasters.

Thus, real estate in Dominica presents an attractive opportunity for foreign investors, especially those looking to obtain citizenship in exchange for investment. The island offers unique natural beauty and a stable investment environment, making it an ideal place for long-term investments.

Who Can Obtain Citizenship

In addition to the primary applicant (investor), the following categories of individuals can obtain Dominica citizenship through the investment program:

  • The spouse of the primary applicant.
  • Children under the age of 30, provided they are financially dependent on the primary applicant and are not married.
  • Parents and grandparents over the age of 65 who are financially dependent on the primary applicant.

All applicants must meet the program's requirements and undergo a due diligence process.

Tax Rates

Taxation in Dominica depends on the status of the taxpayer and is progressive and amounts to 15%-35%.

Non-residents pay taxes if they receive income from sources in the country.
Residents pay tax on all income earned in the country and abroad.

An investor does not become a tax resident after receiving a passport. This status can be obtained if you live in the country for more than 183 days a year. Participants in the Dominica Citizenship by Investment program are not required to live in the country either before or after obtaining a passport.

When buying real estate, stamp duty, legal and judicial taxes are paid, as well as tax to the Insurance Fund, which is 10.5% of the transaction amount.

There is no capital gains tax or real estate tax in Dominica, but depending on the area, a local municipal tax is paid, amounting to about 1.25% of the property value.
Companies in Dominica pay 25% of profits and contribute 7% of employees' salaries to social funds.

In order to avoid double taxation, Dominica has concluded an agreement with all Caribbean countries (CARICOM).

The decisive factor for me in my decision to obtain Grenadian citizenship was the possibility of a visa-free visit to Europe, where my husband and I love to come both on business trips and on vacation. Thank you One World Migration!
