Choosing a Caribbean Citizenship Program

How to compare programs

Caribbean programs look similar on the surface. The differences that matter are the investment routes and how they are priced for your family, the presence or residence requirement, the time to approval and how the program treats future generations.

The five programs at a glance

Program	What people value about it
St. Kitts & Nevis	Strong visa-free travel across many destinations; no residence requirement to apply or hold citizenship; family members can be included
Antigua & Barbuda	Competitive cost, especially for families; strong visa-free travel; no residence requirement to hold
Dominica	Among the most cost-effective programs; strong visa-free travel; no residence requirement
Grenada	Access to the US E-2 investor visa via treaty; strong visa-free travel, including some destinations others lack; no residence requirement
St. Lucia	Flexible investment routes, including bonds; strong visa-free travel; no residence requirement

Investment minimums are set by each program and change over time. We confirm the current figures at consultation and never quote them as guarantees.

Questions to ask before you choose

• Which routes are open, and what is the all-in cost for my family size?
• Is there any residence or presence requirement, now or later?
• How is the program regulated and how long has it operated?
• Can children and parents be included, and can citizenship pass to future generations?
• Is another program — or a residency route — a better fit?
