Citizenship of the Caribbean Islands
Caribbean citizenship by investment is a fast and affordable way to visa-free travel around the world.
Why Choose Economic Citizenship of the Caribbean islands?
Visa-Free Travel to Most Countries
Holders of these passports enjoy broad visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to many countries, including the United Kingdom and the Schengen Area. Each Caribbean programme has its own list of destinations — on average around 140–160 countries. For example, citizens of Antigua and Barbuda can visit the United Kingdom without a visa for up to 6 months. Grenada holds a special position as the only Caribbean citizenship granting eligibility to apply for the U.S. E-2 investor visa.
Please note that the UK now requires an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), and from late 2026 visa-free visitors to the Schengen Area will need ETIAS registration.
Unlimited Business Opportunities
Caribbean countries offer broadly similar, business-friendly tax conditions: no tax on capital gains, dividends or interest, and no tax on worldwide income or inheritance. The region also has a well-developed banking system and strong wealth-structuring tools, such as foundations and trusts, well suited to international business.
Beneficial Conditions for Obtaining a Passport
You do not need to live on the islands to obtain a passport — in most cases the process is completed remotely, and there is no requirement to reside permanently to keep your citizenship.
Return on Investment
Return on investment is an equally important factor. When investing in real estate — whether off-plan or ready-built — you can earn passive rental income and resell the property at a profit once the holding period set by the programme has ended. Amid ongoing global economic instability, this is a sound way to minimise the risk of losing capital.
