If you are considering a second passport through the Dominica citizenship program with or without residency, a key attraction of the Citizenship Program in Dominica is that as a Dominican citizen you will have a Tax Free Status on Foreign Income, Capital Gains, Gift, Wealth and Inheritance Tax.

A Dominica second passport allows for visa free travel to more than 50 countries including the United Kingdom, it allows for dual citizenships without the requirement to notify the applicants home country, and without any need for the applicant to reside in Dominica

Dominica established their Economic Citizenship program in 1991 and actively promotes the program as the investment is used to develop the country's infrastructure. The law can be found in section 101 of the Constitution and Section 8 of the Citizenship Act Chapter 1:10 of the revised laws and section 20 of the Citizenship Act.

The Citizenship Program in Dominica has the following two options, Single Applicant or Family Application that are detailed below.

For a family application the Government will require an investment of US$100,000. This is a non-refundable economic contribution. This option is applicable for the applicant, spouse and two children under the age of eighteen.

For a child over 18 and below 21 there is an additional charge of $15,000, over 21 will be $25,000

Additional Professional, Legal and all Government fees are US$25,000.

Due diligence requirements are undertaken by international private investigative agencies on behalf of the Government.

The costs are payable by the applicant and are determined by the Due Diligence Agency they are usually between $3,000-$10,000 depending on factors that include the numbers of countries that you have resided, your country of birth and the number of family member.
