Donation Route: ~$100,000 USD — Non-refundable contribution to the government. Fastest pathway to citizenship (3-6 months). No ongoing obligations. Ideal for investors prioritizing speed and simplicity.

Real Estate Route: €250,000+ EUR — Investment in approved real estate projects like the Kempinski Hotel development. Capital is redeemable after 5 years. Generates rental income during holding period. Provides both citizenship and a tangible asset with appreciation potential.

Combination Strategy: €250,000+ EUR — Pair Dominica CBI with European residency (Greece Golden Visa or Latvia Golden Visa). Dual citizenship + EU residency in one coordinated move.

Due Diligence Screening: 1-2 weeks. We conduct preliminary background and financial verification to ensure approval probability exceeds 99%.

Document Preparation: 2-3 weeks. We collect and prepare all required documentation for government submission.

Government Processing: 4-8 weeks. Dominica government reviews and approves your application.

Passport Issuance: 1-2 weeks. Your passport and naturalization certificate are prepared and delivered.

Total Timeline: 3-6 months from initial consultation to passport in hand. This is significantly faster than European residency programs (which take 12-24 months) and traditional citizenship by naturalization (which takes 5-10 years).

United Kingdom: Visa-free entry for up to 6 months.

China: Visa-free entry for up to 30 days.

Other major destinations: Canada, Australia, Japan, Singapore, UAE, and 130+ additional countries.

Business advantage: Dominica passport holders are treated as legitimate international business participants by European and North American financial institutions — opening doors to banking, investment, and commercial opportunities that are systematically closed to African passport holders.

The reality: African passport holders face systematic rejection from European banks, regardless of their financial standing or business legitimacy. A Dominica passport changes this dynamic entirely.

What becomes possible: Multi-currency accounts (EUR, USD, GBP), SEPA transfers, business credit lines, investment accounts, and access to wealth management services. European banks treat Dominica passport holders as legitimate market participants.

Our clients have successfully opened accounts with: ING, BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole, Santander, and other major European institutions.

Timeline: Account opening typically takes 2-4 weeks once you have your passport in hand. We provide introductions to relationship managers at partner banks.

Citizenship is permanent: Once granted, your Dominica citizenship is yours for life. There is no residency requirement, no annual fees, and no need to renew your investment.

You can live anywhere: Continue living in Africa, Europe, or anywhere else. Your citizenship status does not depend on where you physically reside.

Contrast with residency programs: European Golden Visas (Greece, Portugal, Latvia) require you to maintain your investment and often have residency obligations. Dominica citizenship has neither.

Passport validity: Your Dominica passport is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely. It does not expire or require reactivation.

Why 99%? We conduct rigorous preliminary due diligence before submitting any application. We screen for financial legitimacy, background risks, and compliance issues. If we identify red flags, we decline to represent you — rather than submit a weak application that could be rejected.

Rejection reasons (rare): Criminal history, sanctions involvement, money laundering concerns, or politically exposed person (PEP) status. Dominica government conducts thorough background checks.

Our approach: We turn down approximately 1-2% of inquiries because they do not meet our standards. This discipline protects our clients and maintains our 99% approval rate.

If you are approved by us: You have a 99% probability of government approval. We do not submit applications we do not believe will succeed.

Government fees: ~$5,000-$8,000 USD (processing, passport issuance, naturalization certificate).

Total non-investment costs: €20,000-€30,000 EUR (approximately $22,000-$33,000 USD) for the complete process.

Real estate route: If choosing the €250,000+ real estate investment, you also pay property transfer taxes (~3-5%) and ongoing management fees (~2-3% annually).

Dual citizenship is legal: Most African countries (Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Ghana, etc.) permit dual citizenship. You can hold both your original passport and your Dominica passport simultaneously.

Privacy: Dominica does not automatically notify your home country of your new citizenship. Your home country will only know if you voluntarily disclose it or if they conduct background checks (which is rare for private citizens).

Travel: You can use either passport for travel. Many clients use their Dominica passport for European travel and banking, and their original passport for travel within Africa.

Tax implications: Your tax residency is determined by where you physically reside and conduct business — not by which passport you hold. Consult with a tax advisor about your specific situation.

Important: We recommend full transparency with your home country tax authorities. Kouamou Capital can connect you with international tax advisors who specialise in dual citizenship structures.
