Step-by-step procedure for obtaining for Dominica nationality

Preparation

Gather necessary documentation, which usually includes a passport, birth certificate, medical certificate, and police clearance certificate. You should also prepare for the investment you plan to make, whether it's a donation or real estate purchase.

Application

At this point, you're required to make your investment. This can either be a donation to the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) or a purchase of pre-approved real estate.
