FAQ
Can I hold Dominica citizenship along with my current nationality?
Yes. Dominica permits dual citizenship and does not require you to renounce your existing nationality.
Can I include my family members in my application?
Yes, a single application can cover more than most people expect. Your spouse and children under 18 are automatically eligible. Children aged 18–30 can be included if they remain financially dependent on you, as can dependent children of any age who are physically or mentally disabled. Parents and grandparents, yours or your spouse’s, can also be included if they are fully supported by you.
Are there any nationality restrictions?
Applicants from a small number of countries, currently including Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Russia, Bulgaria and Syria face additional eligibility conditions, such as not having resided in or held significant business interests in that country for at least 10 years. We review this with you personally during your eligibility consultation.
What if my application isn't approved?
Approval is determined solely by the Government of Dominica’s due diligence process. We do not guarantee outcomes our role is to pre-screen eligibility and prepare the strongest possible application to reduce avoidable risk.
Will this affect my taxes?
Dominica operates a liberalized tax regime for non-residents. Individual tax outcomes depend on your personal residency and citizenship situation, so we recommend confirming specifics with independent tax counsel.
How long does the whole process take?
Most applications are approved in around 6 months from submission, though timelines vary with application volume and the depth of government due diligence.
What about the recent US travel changes for Dominica citizens?
Since January 2026, citizens of Dominica face partial US visa restrictions, and US visitor visas are now issued with shorter validity. If US travel is important to you, we’ll explain your options during your consultation, including programs not affected by these changes.
