Caribbean Citizenship by Investment
Citizenship by Investment is when an individual makes a real estate investment into a country, normally in the form of a real estate purchase, and in return is granted the citizenship and passport of that country. At its most basic level, Citizenship by Investment is exactly what it says it is:
If you can pass a background check, and you have enough funds to make a real estate investment in that country, you will receive citizenship and a passport within a few months.
Some programs will require that the investor either purchases an existing business or establishes a new one, in order to employ several local citizens as part of their investment.
Other programs require that the investor physically resides for a specific time period in that country; it all depends on the chosen jurisdiction. We will recommend the right jurisdiction according to your needs and relevance.
The Caribbean islands of St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Lucia, and Dominica are the easiest countries to acquire citizenship since their programs are relatively cheap and fast and there are minimum residential requirements.
St. Kitts and Nevis
In St. Kitts and Nevis, you can either invest or donate money to the government, but you can be sure that simply donating the money will make the process easy and fast forward.
St. Kitts and Nevis ran the original economic passport program for many years. The requirements are low: donate money to a government development fund, or invest in real estate.
The donation is around $150,000 and you can get the passport right away.
The real estate investment is around $200,000 for any kind of real estate property which can be sold out after a few years.
Dominica
The Dominica passport program offers a really good condition and requires an investment of $100,000 and the requirements only. The process is very fast, only 3 – 4 months.
Grenada
Grenada offers a unique passport that provides access to the EU, UK, Russia, China, and even priority investor access to the United States and visa-free access to Russia and China. Grenada allows you to make a donation of $150,000 for a single person or $200,000 for a married couple for citizenship.
Antigua and Barbuda
There is a unique requirement. Citizens must live in Antigua and Barbuda for 35 days for the first five years. This is a great jurisdiction for families, Antigua’s investment plan is a standard 125,000$ donation or investment of $400,000 in real estate. Families of four can apply for the same price as a single applicant, and Antigua and Barbuda are the cheapest options for families.
St. Lucia
The requirement is a donation of $100,000 or purchase of the real estate, in the amount of $300,000 only. St. Lucia also allows you as an alternative to starting a business. St. Lucia offers benefits for families because dependent parents can be included in the application.
