Building security and freedom through wise investments
The Dominica Citizenship by Investment Programme has earned a reputation as one of the most efficient and reliable in the world. Its appeal lies not only in the speed of application processing — on average three to four months — but also in the strict compliance with regulations at every stage of due diligence. At the same time, the outcome is never automatically guaranteed: the final decision rests with the government and the results of due diligence, and largely depends on the applicant’s attentiveness, the proper preparation of documents, and the professionalism of advisers.
Below are practical recommendations that will help you avoid delays, minimise risks and disappointments, and increase your chances of successful approval.
Investors wishing to participate in Dominica’s citizenship programme can choose between two options:
The first option — a fund contribution — is attractive for its simplicity and speed, though all funds paid are non-refundable. The second option, investment in real estate, provides a key advantage: the creation of a liquid asset that may generate annual income and can be sold after the minimum required holding period.
One of the most attractive projects in the approved real estate category is Anichi Resort & Spa. This luxury resort is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection and is managed by the international company Highgate. Participation not only grants eligibility for the Dominica citizenship programme, but also secures ownership in a property built to high international standards. Anichi Resort & Spa combines guaranteed quality, reliable management, and long-term investment value, making it an optimal choice for investors seeking strategic hospitality assets.
Thus, real estate investment allows you to obtain citizenship, preserve capital, diversify your portfolio, and strengthen your position in one of the Caribbean’s most stable jurisdictions.
Citizenship applications cannot be submitted directly to the government. This right is reserved exclusively for government-accredited agents acting on behalf of applicants. Therefore, partnering with a reliable agent is fundamental to success.
Experienced agents based in Dominica guide clients through the entire process — from preparing the dossier to final approval and receipt of the naturalisation certificate. Their expertise ensures:
Applicants for Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Programme must satisfy strict requirements designed to ensure thorough due diligence, financial transparency, and the country’s international credibility.
Applications are submitted only on behalf of the principal investor aged 18 or older. The application may also include family members: a spouse, dependent children up to the age of 30 if studying and financially supported, children with disabilities of any age, and parents or grandparents over 65 who are financially dependent on the applicant or their spouse.
For nationals of certain countries, additional checks or restrictions may apply. Even with rapid processing, unexpected delays are possible due to changes in immigration policy. To avoid wasted expenses and setbacks, it is advisable to confirm eligibility in advance and keep track of updates to the programme rules. A detailed list of requirements can be found in our candidate eligibility guide.
Proper handling of documents is key to success:
All copies must be notarised with the mandatory note “True copy of the original”. If a document is not in English, it must be translated by a certified professional, including all stamps and seals. Failure to comply almost inevitably results in documents being returned.
Dominica is known for its rigorous due diligence system. All applicants undergo comprehensive checks, and those over 16 must attend a mandatory interview. Full openness and honesty are essential: any inaccuracies or withheld information can result in refusal or even revocation of citizenship after it has been granted.
Applicants must be in satisfactory health; only serious medical conditions may be grounds for refusal. Family applications usually take longer to process, as documentation must be aligned for each family member.
The Dominica Citizenship by Investment Programme stands out for its transparency, efficiency, and competitive cost. For investors, it serves not only as a tool to enhance global mobility, but also as part of strategic planning for risk management and capital preservation. With a responsible approach — selecting the right investment option, working with accredited agents, and preparing documents accurately — the process becomes predictable and efficient, with results fully aligned to the applicant’s long-term interests.
We offer investors an institutional approach, compliance with global standards, and confidence in long-term asset value. If you are considering participation in the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Programme, the Anichi Resort & Spa team is ready to provide full support at every stage.
