Caribbean Citizenship by Investment (CBI) is currently the lowest-threshold direct citizenship route globally. This site covers four main programs: St. Kitts and Nevis (world's first CBI, since 1984), Grenada (NTF donation from US$235,000), Antigua and Barbuda (NDF from US$230,000; exact amount after OECS 2024 coordination should be confirmed with CIU), and Dominica (Economic Diversification Fund from approximately US$200,000). Each country offers both donation (non-refundable single contribution) and real estate (higher but sellable after a holding period) routes. Core attractions of Caribbean CBI: passport obtained in 3–6 months, no long-term residency requirements, visa-free access to over 140–150 countries (including Schengen Area), and family application support. Recent external pressures: the EU continues to strengthen scrutiny of CBI passports; Vanuatu passports (classified under Oceania) had Schengen visa-free access suspended in 2022; the four Caribbean nations currently maintain Schengen visa-free access, but policies may change at any time; always verify with the latest official announcements before applying.
