We quote the government fee in writing once we know your family size
Government fees are quoted in US dollars and paid to the Citizenship by Investment Unit through the licensed local agent. Our advisory fee and the local agent's fee are quoted separately.
Dominica citizenship cost: worked examples on the EDF route
All figures are government charges before our advisory fee and the local agent's fee.
| Household | Contribution | Processing | Due diligence | Interview | Certificates | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single applicant | US$200,000 | US$1,000 | US$7,500 | US$1,000 | US$500 | US$210,000 |
| Couple | US$250,000 | US$1,000 | US$11,500 | US$2,000 | US$1,000 | US$265,500 |
| Family of four (two adults, two children under 16) | US$250,000 | US$1,000 | US$11,500 | US$2,000 | US$2,000 | US$266,500 |
| Family of six (two adults, two children under 16, two parents 65+) | US$330,000 | US$1,000 | US$19,500 | US$4,000 | US$3,000 | US$357,500 |
The family-of-six contribution is US$250,000 plus US$40,000 for each parent. A child aged 16 or 17 adds US$4,000 due diligence and US$1,000 interview; a dependant aged 18–30 adds the same plus US$40,000 to the contribution if outside the first four.
Dominica CBI payment schedule and non-refundable fees
On submission: processing, due diligence and interview fees, non-refundable even if refused, which is why we do not file a case we think will fail.
After approval in principle: the EDF contribution, or the property closing through escrow plus the government fee; then certificate fees. The contribution is not returned once citizenship is granted.
Professional fees: our advisory fee for the Toronto work (eligibility, source-of-funds narrative, document vetting, interview preparation) and the licensed local agent's fee are quoted in writing before you engage us. We add no percentage to the contribution.
Enhanced due diligence: some nationalities pay a surcharge on the US$7,500; it depends on passport and residence history.
Dominica has the lowest cost for a single applicant and a family of four; Saint Lucia costs less only for families of six or more. See our Caribbean cost comparison.
Dominica passport price for US and Canadian applicants
For US and Canadian citizens
US$210,000 secures a second nationality for life; children under 16 in a family of four cost US$500 each. It brings no tax change: US citizens keep worldwide taxation, FBAR and FATCA; Canadians stay taxable until they leave. The passport does not enter the UK visa-free.
For US and Canada residents on another passport
US$266,500 for a family of four is the lowest-cost Caribbean passport with Schengen visa-free access. Weigh it against Proclamation 10998 (no US immigrant, B-1/B-2, F, M or J visas for Dominican nationals) and Canada's visa requirement. If either matters, Grenada at US$235,000 plus higher government fees may be the better choice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Dominica passport price for one person?
US$210,000 in government charges on the Economic Diversification Fund route: US$200,000 contribution, US$1,000 processing, US$7,500 due diligence, US$1,000 interview and US$500 for the certificate of naturalisation. Our advisory fee and the local agent's fee are on top and quoted in writing. Figures verified 27 September 2026.
How much does a Dominican passport cost for a family of four?
US$266,500 for two adults and two children under 16: US$250,000 contribution, US$1,000 processing, US$11,500 due diligence (US$7,500 principal plus US$4,000 spouse), US$2,000 for two interviews and US$2,000 for four certificates. Children aged 16 or 17 add US$5,000 each in due diligence and interview fees.
Is any of the Dominica citizenship cost refundable?
No. Processing, due diligence and interview fees are paid on submission and kept whether or not you are approved. The contribution is paid only after approval in principle, so a refusal does not cost the US$200,000, but it is not returned once citizenship is granted. Real estate can be resold after three years; the government fee on that route is not refundable.
Does real estate cost less than the EDF contribution in Dominica?
It costs more up front. The purchase is from US$200,000, the same as a single EDF contribution, but a government fee set by family size and closing costs are added, and the same due diligence and interview fees apply. The case for real estate is recovery after the three-year hold, which depends on finding a buyer in a small market.
