Which Caribbean countries offer citizenship by investment?
Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Lucia. Each programme has an official unit that approves applications.
Does buying any property qualify for citizenship?
No. Only real estate in government-approved projects qualifies, and each programme sets its own minimum and holding period.
Can a CBI property be resold?
Usually after a mandatory holding period, typically five to seven years. Resale value is uncertain because the next buyer may not qualify for citizenship.
Is the CBI real estate price the market price?
Not necessarily. Approved-project prices are set around programme minimums, so they can be above what a non-CBI buyer would pay.
Where can I confirm current programme rules?
Confirm with the official citizenship by investment unit of each country and a licensed agent. Rules and minimums change.
