Dominica Passport New Costs and Easy Entry to Thailand

Thailand added to countries that Dominica passport holders can enter easily, adding to the other benefits offered by the Dominica citizenship program.

Thailand has recently expanded and facilitated entry to several countries, including the representative of the Caribbean nations (Dominica passport holders) in order to enjoy a longer stay and simpler entry procedures.

Dominica, the so-called Nature Island, whose official language is English and whose people widely speak French, offers its passport holders many benefits, including tax management, family reunification and freedom of movement.

Details on how to get to Thailand with a Dominica passport

While many Caribbean countries require a visa to enter Thailand, Dominica passport holders are an exception, as they can now obtain a visa on arrival and stay for 60 days at a time.

In this regard, the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement at the end of May 2024 stating that it has expanded the list of countries that can visit Thailand with a visa on arrival or without a visa with the aim of developing tourism and facilitating the entry of visitors from all over the world.

The requirements for entering Thailand with a visa on arrival are a passport valid for at least 6 months, proof of return ticket, a statement proving that the Dominican citizen has sufficient funds during his stay, and activation of health insurance during the stay.

The holder of a Dominican passport should be aware that this residence does not allow work, but you can hold business meetings, tourism, treatment, and visit acquaintances.

In addition to Dominica, there are now 16 new countries that can access Thailand with a visa on arrival and you are allowed to stay for 60 days, including Jordan, Croatia, and Morocco.

1. Expands the Suspended Nationalities for Dominica Passport

In early 2024, Dominica suspended all new applications from citizens of Yemen, who can still obtain a second citizenship from Saint Kitts or Saint Lucia.

Yemeni citizens have been added to the other suspended groups, which are citizens of Northern Iraq, North Korea, Sudan, Russia, Belarus, and Kurdistan.

2. Change in Dominica Passport Fee Structure

Like other Caribbean countries, Dominica has changed its pricing structure to match the rest of its neighbors offering Caribbean citizenship and now the pricing structure is as follows:

· Donate to the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF):

Contribute $200,000 per person or $250,000 for a family of 4, plus additional dependent costs and pre-screening fees.

· Real Estate Investment Option

Invest $200,000 in Dominican real estate with the right to resell the property after 3 or 5 years to another person who wants to apply for Dominican citizenship with the purchased property.

3. Boosting Dominica Passport with New Countries

Dominica has started requiring Turkish citizens to obtain a visa before visiting Dominica, reflecting updates to travel laws in both countries.

In addition to Thailand, Dominica passport holders can now travel to Argentina without a visa and enter Vietnam with a visa on arrival. All of these steps have boosted Dominica’s passport to rank 34th in the world and allow visa-free access to over 135 other countries, including all Schengen countries, Singapore and Hong Kong.

It is worth noting that Dominica has an embassy in the United Arab Emirates to facilitate any logistical procedures related to passport holders from the Middle East who wish to obtain citizenship after investing in Dominica.
