How we know

Every figure here is as windominica.gov.dm publishes it, checked 18 August 2026. Where a number is our own arithmetic rather than a printed figure, the row says so.

Status
Open
Visa
Work In Nature (WIN) Extended Stay Visa
Initial stay
18 months
Income required
$50,000 a year — Official eligibility wording: applicants must expect an income of 'US$50,000 or more over the next 12 months' or have sufficient means to support themselves and accompanying family members.
Fee
$800 — Non-refundable application fee US$100. WIN Visa fees: single applicant US$800; family application US$1,200; business with 4+ employees US$800 plus US$500 for each additional employee. No separate per-dependant figure is published within a family application.
Who qualifies
Official criteria: 'You are at least 18 years old'; 'You are of good character, without a criminal record'; 'You are able and willing to make the required financial contribution'; and the ability to work remotely. Applicants must be earning their living from entities outside Dominica — freelancers, full-time remote employees or business owners.

Family
Eligible dependants: spouse or partner; children or stepchildren under 18 years; other relatives wholly dependent due to age or infirmity. Children may attend school at primary, secondary or tertiary level.
Where to apply
Submit the WIN Extended Stay Visa application form online at windominica.gov.dm and pay the non-refundable application fee, uploading the required documents. The application is checked for completeness, then passed to the Permanent Secretary or Tourism Authority for recommendation and to the Joint Regional Communications Centre (JRCC) for due diligence; the application, recommendation and JRCC report are then reviewed by the National Security and Home Affairs Department. 'The WIN Visa (evidenced by a stamp known as the WIN Visa Stamp) is issued on arrival in Dominica and is valid from that date for up to 18 months.'

What to know before you apply

Confirmed open on 2026-08-18: the official government site (windominica.gov.dm) serves a live 'Apply Now' route. Two corrections to figures circulating elsewhere: the WIN visa fee is US$800 single / US$1,200 family plus a US$100 application fee (not US$100/US$200 as sometimes reported), and the income test is US$50,000 over the next 12 months. No official processing time or renewal terms were published on the pages read, so both are null. Aggregator sites frequently confuse Dominica with the Dominican Republic; they are different countries and only Dominica has this programme.

What it means for your tax days

The official programme site lists an 'Income Tax Waiver' as a benefit of the programme, together with 'Duty Free Concessions on Importation of Personal Effects'. A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days you actually spend. Check Dominica's tax authority for the day test that applies to you — and count the days either way.

Dominica, the rest of it

Stretch is a tracker, not legal advice, and this is not tax advice. Visa and tax rules change and are applied by the authority, not by an app — every figure here shows its source and the date we checked it. Checked 2026-08-18; confirm on the official page before you apply or file.
