How to Obtain Dominican Citizenship

Thinking about becoming a Dominican citizen? Great choice! Here's a straightforward guide to fulfilling the requirements and making your dream a reality.
Step 1: Choose Your Path
To qualify for Dominican citizenship, you have two options:
Option 1: Make a non-refundable grant of $100,000 to the Economic Development Fund.
Option 2: Invest in an approved real estate project with a minimum value of $200,000.
Step 2: Get Your Documents Ready
Gathering the necessary documents is a crucial step. Here's what you'll need:

• A medical questionnaire filled out by a Registered Medical Practitioner.
• A notarized comprehensive disclosure form.
• An investment agreement if you're contributing to the Government Economic Fund.
• Additionally, you'll need a certified copy of your passport, birth certificate, police certificate, professional and personal references, marriage certificate (if applicable), and more.

If your documents aren't in English, get them translated and notarized by a professional translator.
Step 3: Choose an Authorized Agent
The Dominican Citizenship by Investment Unit (CBIU) doesn't accept direct applications. You'll need an authorized agent to assist you.
Step 4: Submit Your Application
Once your documents are ready, your agent will submit your application to the CBIU. No mandatory interview is required, but the government might request one.
Step 5: Background Check and Approval
The CBIU will recommend your application to the government based on a background check. Your agent will keep you updated on your application status—whether it's approved in principle, delayed, or rejected.
Step 6: Payment and Verification
If approved, you'll receive instructions to make a contribution or invest in real estate. After proof of payment, the CBIU will issue your certificate of registration, serving as evidence of citizenship. You can then apply for your Dominican passport.

Timeline: What to Expect

The entire process, from application submission to passport issuance, typically takes three to four months. Keep in mind that the real estate option's timeline may vary based on development.
