Dominica

Dominica offers one of the lowest headline entry points in the Caribbean, from a 200,000 USD contribution — though fees take the real single cost closer to 284,500 USD. Its main trade-off is honest to state: a United Kingdom visa has been required for its passport holders since 2023.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dominica really the cheapest Caribbean passport?

The 200,000 USD headline is the lowest, but around 75,000 USD in government and due diligence fees take the real single-applicant cost to roughly 284,500 USD. Compare total costs, not headline figures.

Can I travel to the United Kingdom visa-free?

No. The UK has required a visa from Dominica passport holders since 19 July 2023. This is a real limitation to weigh against the low entry cost.

What does it really cost?

The official minimum is $200 000, through the cheapest of its 3 routes. Counting government, due-diligence and legal fees, a family of four should budget around $267 000. The advertised figure is never the figure you pay.

What we do for you

Citizenship or residence, the honest answer often is not the one you arrived with. We take the whole procedure with you — eligibility, the route that fits your situation, the file, the follow-up — with one person on your side throughout.

For Dominica specifically, you are talking to someone who already knows the file: who to speak to on the ground, what the unit actually asks for, and the points where applications stall.

  • One point of contact, from the first call to the certificate
  • Vetted partners on the ground — law firms, licensed agents, banks — introduced, not listed
  • It starts with a short qualifying call, and no, it is not a sales call
