How to get Caribbean citizenship?
Antigua and Barbuda. Currently, the minimum investment required by the Antigua CIP is $100,000 USD per applicant. For big families (at least 6 people) another non-refundable investment was launched — a contribution to the local University fund — from $ 150,000 USD.
It is also possible to invest in one of the real estate projects authorized by the authorities (from $ 200,000 USD, for example, Moon Gate, for a period of 5 years (the state, licensed agent or the developer do not bear the obligation to buy out the share).
There is also a fourth option, with a contribution to an authorized business project in the amount of $1,500,000 USD, but it is present rather nominally. Perhaps an investment in a movie project will replace this option or become the fifth option, making Antigua a “ pioneer” in this direction.
So far, the only innovator in the Caribbean region that has introduced a unique new competitive option is St. Lucia. The country offers Caribbean citizenship for an investment in government bonds in the amount of $300,000 USD for 5 years with a guaranteed return of the full amount. Any number of dependent family members can be included in the application, while the government fee will be one – $50,000 USD. Due diligence and application fees are calculated as usual.
