Citizenship By Investment

As published by the units on 24 October 2026: Dominica's Economic Diversification Fund takes a non-refundable contribution from US$200,000 for a single applicant and US$250,000 for a family of up to four, or an approved real estate purchase from US$200,000 held for at least three years; St Kitts and Nevis sets its Sustainable Island State Contribution at US$250,000 for a main applicant or a family of up to four, with US$25,000 per extra dependant under 18 and US$50,000 per extra adult. Due diligence, processing and passport fees are charged on top. The figures change by regulation, so we confirm the current schedule with the unit before you commit funds.

No, and no adviser can. Each programme requires the application to be submitted by an agent licensed by that government: Dominica's unit states that applications cannot be submitted by the applicant and must go through an Authorised Agent, and St Kitts and Nevis lists selecting an Authorised Agent from its official list as the first step. Our role is independent: we assess which programme fits, prepare the source-of-funds and corporate documentation, run pre-screening against the programme's eligibility rules and coordinate the licensed agent, so the file is complete before it reaches the unit. We are not tied to any one programme or agent.

Expect several months and a mandatory interview. Dominica's unit says applicants should generally expect to wait at least three months from submission to approval in principle, and that every applicant aged 16 or over must attend an interview, usually virtual, at US$1,000 per interview. St Kitts and Nevis publishes a typical 160 to 180 days from submission to approval in principle and lists an interview for main applicants and dependants aged 16 and over. The investment is paid only after approval in principle, and the passport follows the certificate of naturalisation. We prepare you for the interview and sequence the payments to the unit's timetable.

More than in most residence programmes. Dominica's published dependant list covers a spouse; children under 18; children aged 18 to 30 attending a recognised institution of higher learning and fully supported; unmarried daughters under 25 living with and supported by the applicant; children 18 or over with a physical or mental disability; and parents or grandparents over 65 who are substantially supported. Antigua and Barbuda allows a spouse, dependent children and dependent parents over 55 to be included in a National Development Fund application without an additional contribution, though government and due diligence fees apply per person. Adding dependants raises the contribution in Dominica and the fees everywhere, so we model the whole family's cost before you choose a route.

Due diligence is the real gate. Dominica refuses applicants with a criminal record beyond minor offences, anyone under criminal investigation, anyone denied citizenship elsewhere or refused a visa to the EU, the UK or a country Dominica has visa-free travel with unless a visa was later granted, and anyone considered a security risk. It also publishes explicit bans, limitations or enhanced due diligence for nationals of Belarus, Iran, Northern Iraq, North Korea, Russia, Yemen and Sudan. Antigua and Barbuda applies similar bars, including false information, a conviction carrying more than six months' imprisonment and prior visa refusals. These rules decide whether a file is viable at all, so we pre-screen before any fee is paid.
