Parents and grandparents, yours or your spouse’s, can also be included if they are fully supported by you.
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.
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.
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.
Most applications are approved in around 6 months from submission, though timelines vary with application volume and the depth of government due diligence.
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.
