We are authorized by the Government of Dominica to help the investors, who invest to be naturalized according to the program of Naturalization in Exchange for Investments.
If you decide to use our service we will work with you in the following way:
- We will send you a retainer letter which sets out a summary of the process including our fees.
- Once the retainer is settled, you begin to prepare the documents for the investigation agency. You will fill in the Data Form approved by the Government (and provided by us), and return it to us by e-mail or fax. This Data From is necessary for the due diligence checks which must be done in respect of each application. If required we can assist you in filling the form on the basis of the information provide by you.
- You contact the investigation agency to settle their fee for their work. Their bill depends on number of family members, the country of present citizenship and permanent residence, how often you have changed your residence and the country of your last domiciliation. Their fee is usually US $3,000 to US $10,000 and it takes about two days from the moment we address to the agency till they send the bill.
- You transfer the money directly to the account of the investigation agency. You send a completed copy of the Data Form to the agency so that they may conduct the due diligence. It usually takes from 10 to 30 days.
- Using mail and messenger service, you send us the other original copy of the completed Data Form, along with all necessary supporting documents or copies, which you collected according to the list we provide. (Note that all documents must be properly signed and that all copies and translation must be notarized.). We prepare the documents that you send us, and present them to the Government of Dominica. They perused the documents and inform us as to whether additional documents or information are required. If so we inform you of this.
- If the documents are accepted by the Government they give tentative approval. We inform you of this. At this stage you transfer the investment amount of US $75,000 or US $100,000 directly to the account of Dominica government. This amount must be transferred in whole.
- Once payment is received by the Government, you will get an invitation to the interview by officials of the Government. Only the main investment must come, there is no need to bring the family along. Interview is conducted once a month - at the last Friday of each month. We can assist you with the hotel arrangements and will meet you at the airport and take you to the hotel. If you do not speak English, then at the interview, you may speak in another language with the assistance of a translator. There is a small fee (approximately $US100). At the interview you will be asked elementary questions about Dominica. This requires you to have minimal knowledge about Dominica's geography, history and culture. We will provide you with a list of the questions normally asked and their answers. We recommend you to come to Dominica at least the day before the interview.
Note that interviews can be conducted outside Dominica at the investor's expense
- If the interview is successful, it will take about 30 days to naturalize and get the passport. You can leave Dominica right after the interview, all the rest will be done with the help of mail and messenger service. We will send you the Oath of Allegiance, which must be signed by every member of the family and returned to us. The Oath must be taken as part of the grant of citizenship.
