Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a multi-island state of about 389 square kilometres in the southern Windward Islands. Volcanic St Vincent is the main island, while the Grenadine chain to the south — Bequia, Mustique, Canouan and Union Island among them — hosts much of the luxury and private-island market.

Ask your attorney for the current alien licence fee and processing time, which we have not yet sourced.
