Dominica Requires Citizenship Investors to Collect Passports in Person, Skerrit Confirms

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has confirmed that all citizenship-by-investment applicants must now visit Dominica in person to collect their passports, a process change designed to tighten oversight amid international scrutiny of Caribbean CBI schemes.

The in-person rule mirrors a regional trend toward residency and physical-presence requirements as Eastern Caribbean states respond to US and EU concerns about vetting standards. Skerrit has also urged public preparedness as the 2026 hurricane season begins.

What this means for you: prospective applicants should plan for travel to Dominica as part of the process, and existing holders should expect continued program reforms.
