Short answer: Dominica citizenship by investment is mainly a donation to the Economic Diversification Fund (public discussion for singles often starts around USD 200,000—use the official table). Spouse and eligible children can be added, with fees and diligence rising by headcount. The passport is typically Schengen visa-free; the UK usually needs a visa. Timelines depend on diligence and RFEs, often from several months. It fits budget-sensitive families focused on Schengen access who can accept UK visa procedures.

Travel reality
Schengen access is the main mobility benefit. UK visits need visas and lead time. Lists change—check official sources before travel. CBI usually has no long residence duty.
Versus Antigua and St Kitts
Antigua differs on family packages and UK ETA posture; St Kitts differs on brand and fee structure. Dominica often shortlists on a lower single floor, but family totals still need precise math.
Global Immigrate note
Lock every member and age, then request the official fee table from a licensed unit. Prior refusals or complex funds warrant pre-diligence. Donations are non-refundable—tie payment to diligence progress.
