You qualify by making a non-refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund, starting from around USD 200,000 for a single applicant, and passing enhanced due diligence.
Dominica's most affordable route to citizenship is a non-refundable contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF). For a single applicant this begins from roughly USD 200,000, with due-diligence and processing fees on top. The contribution supports national development, and as a donation it is the simplest of Dominica's two routes.
It is well suited to individuals and families who want a cost-effective second citizenship without any obligation to live in the country. Dominica is known for thorough vetting, so every applicant must clear enhanced due-diligence and source-of-funds checks, and the application must go through an authorised agent.
Approval is not automatic, even though the entry cost is modest. Strong due diligence is part of what protects the passport's visa-free travel. Minimums and fees change over time, so confirm current figures with the CBIU, and ACME can help you assess whether the EDF or real-estate route fits your goals.
