Caribbean Citizenship By Investment Programmes:

‘Dual citizenship’ or ‘multiple nationalities’ are terms that are used when a person has two or more citizenships at the same time. Dual citizenship is an asset: just like knowing two languages, having two homes, or opening two bank accounts, dual citizenship can give you the freedom of choice, and the ability to pick the best options for you and your family. In practice, this means that you can select the safest place to live, the best quality of life, educational institutions, healthcare systems, exciting business opportunities, and much more. Importantly, dual citizenship is also long lasting, because you carry it for life and you can pass it to your children.

Citizenship by investment allows individuals to apply for citizenship without having to show a prior connection with a nation. In other words, citizenship by investment allows you to become a citizen of a country even if you have no family in that country, and even if you have never lived there. Citizenship by investment is generally open to all who choose to apply, and is especially popular among high net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs looking to make an investment. In 1984, St Kitts and Nevis launched the world’s first-ever Citizenship by Investment Programme, making the Caribbean the first region to offer citizenship by investment to foreigners. Today, all Caribbean programmes offer at least two options for becoming a citizen through an investment. The first option is to contribute to a government fund, which is used to develop the local economy. The second option is to invest in pre-approved real estate, which is selected by the government and usually includes hotel shares and apartments. For years, citizenship by investment in the Caribbean has attracted investors who trust the programmes and who want to enjoy mobility and a stable and peaceful life.
