When your application for Dominican citizenship receives an ‘approval in principle’, this is very good news, in fact. It means that you have passed all the necessary security checks and you are welcome to become a full citizen of Dominica. The only thing that remains to be done is making the required donation or the investment. Dominica does not practice the ‘money first’ approach: you will not be asked to make the donation or the investment unless the authorities are happy with your ‘character’.
