Why should I get Caribbean citizenship by investment?

Many successful businessmen, when planning to relocate or grow business abroad, in the first place think about Europe and North America. But why not consider Caribbean countries that could also become a welcoming place to live and work? Second passport is an ideal solution for those who don’t want to lose ties to their country of origin but have access to high standards of healthcare, travel around the world and realise their business ambitions.

If you get expert support from qualified lawyers that know pitfalls and requirements of the process, you will get your second passport in 1.5 to 6 months from a country of your choice, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Lucia, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis or Dominica.

Top 8 reasons why invest in a second passport in the Caribbean

Freedom is one of the greatest values in our life that makes it full and happy. Material comfort and career opportunities also play a very important role. All this is possible with dual citizenship from one of the Caribbean countries. Local governments are welcoming foreign investors because it helps to maintain high levels of education and healthcare, create jobs, guarantee safety and security for local people and ecosystem, and support production of goods and services.

Visa-free travel

Free entry to over 130 countries in the world including Schengen states and the UK. With Grenada passport, you do not need a visa to China and you can get an entrepreneur visa to the USA that is not available to many other nationalities. Other Caribbean passports will help you obtain a long-term visa to Canada or America easier.

Affordable investment

Second citizenship does not cost a lot; it is relatively cheap. You would be asked to invest anything from $100,000 to $500,000, or more (investment in a business in Antigua and Barbuda and Saint Lucia is $1,500,000 and $3,500,000). Besides, you will be able to return your investment in real estate, business or securities in average after 5 years.

A choice of investment options

You will have a range to choose from. Based on what you want and your business needs, you can apply for a second passport by making a contribution to a national fund, diversification fund (Dominica, St Kitts & Nevis) or education fund (Antigua and Barbuda). But remember that these contributions are non-refundable. Another option is buying real estate (all jurisdictions) or government bonds (Saint Lucia). Antigua and Barbuda and Saint Lucia also offer investing in business.

Citizenship for the whole family

Start a new life with the loved ones. You can apply for a Caribbean passport for your spouse, children 25 to 30 years old, parents older than 55-65 (check each country for details) and even your siblings (Grenada). Another bonus is that second citizenship is passed down to future generations.

No residency requirements

You are not required to live in a country after obtaining citizenship by investment. Second passport will be issued to you without personal visit. The only exception is Antigua and Barbuda where you must spend at least 5 days in the first 5 years – this is too little to become a big problem.

Tax benefits

There are massive tax benefits both for individuals and businesses. Some taxes are abolished altogether. For example, there is no income tax, inheritance or gift taxes in some jurisdictions.

High living standards

Quality of live on the Caribbean islands will pleasantly surprise you irrespective of whether you plan to live there or simply visit them. Excellent healthcare, low crime rate, political and economic stability.

Natural beauty

Breath-taking lush nature and tropical climate, warm sea and clean air will heal your body and soul, fill you with energy and optimism.

Do not forget about one more advantage of dual citizenship, confidentiality. By dealing with a trustworthy legal firm that would protect your interests your safety is assured.
