Roseau, Dominica — July 25, 2025 The Commonwealth of Dominica has refined its Citizenship by Investment Programme with updated figures and stronger focus on sustainable development through the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF).

• Fee Schedule Refinements: State fees include a US$1,000 processing fee per application, plus due diligence fees (US$7,500 for the primary applicant; US$4,000 for dependants aged 16 and above). There is also a US$500 certificate of naturalisation fee per person and US$1,000 interview fee for applicants aged 16 or older. (Dominica)
• Focus on Sustainable & Strategic Projects: Dominica is placing strong emphasis on investing in sectors that promote resilience—such as renewable energy, education, healthcare, and infrastructure. These efforts are part of the national aim to establish Dominica as a climate-resilient economy. (Dominica)

For investors, this update brings more transparency and predictability into the cost side of the citizenship investment process. The refined fees and contribution tiers help in planning, especially for families.
