Dominica Tightens Citizenship Rules With Interviews and Biometric Passports

Dominica’s 2026 citizenship rules now require virtual interviews for applicants aged 16 and older and introduce biometric e-passport standards, with enhanced EU and US driven due diligence stretching processing to four to seven months. The IMF logged 4.5 percent growth on record tourism.

What this means for you: existing and prospective citizens should budget for longer timelines and confirm their passports meet the new biometric standard to avoid travel disruption.
