Notes

The WIN stamp is issued on arrival and is valid for up to 18 months from that date. Apply online at the programme site, which links to the form at apply.windominica.gov.dm, and pay the non-refundable application fee of US$100 (shown as EC$271.69 on the payment page). After the approval letter, the visa fee is US$800 for one applicant (EC$2,162.04), US$1,200 for a family (EC$3,243.06), or US$800 plus US$500 for each additional employee when one business applies for four or more employees. Pay that fee within 30 days, or ask by email for one further 30 days, and arrive within 90 days. The published rules describe this single stay and do not set out a renewal. Expect to earn US$50,000 or more over the next 12 months, and/or show the means to support yourself and anyone coming with you. No monthly amount is published. The test is stated in US dollars, so no conversion applies. Remote work is allowed only for companies and individuals that are not registered in Dominica. A spouse or partner, children or stepchildren under 18, and any other wholly dependent relative may join on the same application. There is no extra income figure per person and no separate fee per dependent. Children may attend school. Education is compulsory from ages five to 16. Remote work under the visa receives a waiver of Dominica income tax. The holder still pays tax in the normal country of residence or tax domicile. The programme page does not state a capital-gains or dividend exemption. In the first three months, personal and household items and tools of trade may enter free of import duty and VAT, but the Customs Service Charge and Environmental Surcharge still apply. A vehicle or equipment imported free of duty, that surcharge and VAT must be exported when the stay ends. Holders may apply for an annual driver's licence and may travel while the visa is valid. Police records are required from every country of residence in the past five years, for the applicant and every family member aged 18 or over. Health insurance must be valid in Dominica for the applicant and the family. Documents not in English need a certified translation. A nationality that needs an ordinary visa to enter Dominica must hold that visa as well. The Minister for National Security and Home Affairs approves the application after a Joint Regional Communications Centre check and may revoke the visa for a breach, a crime, or conduct that brings Dominica or the programme into disrepute.

    public notes corrected. The business fee starts at four employees, not three, and the programme waives income tax on remote work without stating a capital-gains or dividend exemption Source
