Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Citizenship by investment programs is a popular option for those seeking a second passport and the benefits of dual citizenship.

By investing in a nation’s economy, individuals can apply for citizenship and gain access to the many benefits of residing in a new country.

There are several ways to achieve citizenship through investment, including making financial contributions to reputable charities or purchasing real estate in the desired country.

  • These programs offer a more convenient path to citizenship than traditional methods, such as naturalization.
  • One of the most significant benefits of these programs is the ability to live, work, and study in the host country, as well as visa-free travel to over 100 nations globally.
  • This opens up a world of new opportunities and a greater sense of security and mobility for individuals and their families.

While acquiring citizenship through investment can be expensive in many countries, there are some nations where the cost is significantly lower, starting at just $150,000 or less. These countries are typically located in the Caribbean region, where English is the official language, making them an attractive option for many people.

Highlighted below are some examples.

1. St Kitts and Nevis  

As earlier reported, you can become a citizen of this Island and have visa-free travel to 165 countries in the world with an investment of $150,00 or a real estate option.  

  • The application includes a spouse, unmarried children under 31 who are substantially dependent on the main applicant, and parents and grandparents aged 65 and older.
  • Also, dependents after the citizenship have been granted to the main applicant can be added. 
  • Saint Kitts and Nevis is a dual-island nation between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea and is known for its beaches, rainforest, and mountains.
  • English is the island’s official language, followed by Creole.

  • The E-2 Investor Visa Treaty between Grenada and the USA makes it the only citizenship-by-investment program in the Caribbean that entitles participants to apply for a non-immigrant visa after residing in Grenada for a continuous period of three years.
  • Applying for this visa generally includes a spouse, children under 30, unmarried siblings aged 18 and over, parents, and grandparents of the main applicant and spouse.
  • The citizenship is even transferable to new spouses and future generations.
  • Grenada is a Caribbean island comprising a main island, also smaller surrounding islands. It is the biggest producer of spices such as nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and turmeric. English is the official language.

  • The applicant can also add dependents after they have been granted citizenship. 
  • Being a citizen of the island entitles citizens to certain privileges in the UK and other member states as a member of the Commonwealth.
  • Antigua & Barbuda is located where the Atlantic and Caribbean island meet.
  • The island is prosperous due to its tourism industry and off-shore financial services. English is the official language, and Antiguan Creole is also widely spoken.
