Caribbean citizenship by investment (CBI) programmes enable individuals to obtain citizenship of one of five Caribbean countries by investing in those countries, generally either through a contribution to the government or a real estate purchase. While it is possible to gain citizenship by investment in countries around the world, Caribbean nations offer some of the most affordable prices for investors looking to gain a second citizenship. Successful applicants can then apply for a passport to facilitate their travel.
What’s more, most Caribbean CBI programmes don’t have minimum stay requirements, allowing you to come and go as often as you please. Allowing you to live and work in a diverse region with massive economic potential and growth opportunities, Caribbean citizenship could be the best investment of your life.
