The Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) was established under the country’s Citizenship by Investment Programme. Applicants may obtain citizenship by making a donation to Dominica’s EDF; the donation amount is USD 200,000 for an individual application and USD 250,000 for a family application (including three dependents).
