INVESTMENT TYPE AND AMOUNT
TIMELINE
The first step is to get the pre-approval on applicant’s passport history administered by MICS professional legal team and Dominica government after having MICS initial professional fee payment.
The MICS processing team will provide the applicant with a precise list of civil and financial documents required by the government.
Once all documents are collected and the file is prepared to be submitted, the government processing fees, due diligence fees and MICS second professional fee will be due.
The completed application will be evaluated for conformity with the Dominica CBI program and the due diligence procedure will be reported.
If the result was positive, the applicant will be invited to make the investment either by making the donation to the government or by purchasing any government approved real estate project.
The Certificates of Naturalization will be issued for all family members in the file and the passport applications will be finalized.
Once the passports are issued, they can be collected in one of the MICS offices, or they can be delivered to the applicants.
This is when the payment of MICS professional fee balance will be due.
