Today's realities are so changeable that one has to think about the step to switch places of residence. Many people consider options with a favorable climate and unique nature, but at the same time, modern infrastructure to make a living more comfortable. That is why countries located on the Caribbean islands are gaining popularity.

There are other Caribbean citizenship options in our article. The information will help you to understand which variant will be the best choice.

More than 156 destinations worldwide are available to the passport holder (the production period takes up to 45 days). Issuing a long-term visa to the United States and Canada is possible. A wide range of real estate is offered.

Personal presence is not necessary to obtain a document. Everything can be done through a special agent.


Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program

This application process is simple in execution and does not require the applicant's presence. All documentation can be submitted through a qualified specialist.

Comparison of the 3 Caribbean Programs

Each proposal presented by the authorities is attractive in its own way. At the same time, the applicant can choose the best option for himself. For this purpose, it is recommended to have professional counseling. It will make the choice more correct.

For example, if it is necessary to apply for Caribbean citizenship by investment programs for one person, the best choice will be Dominica. If the applicant is a couple with children, it is better to use another offer. It is suggested to consider Antigua and Barbuda.

Are you choosing between different programs? Then take note that Antigua and Barbuda are the only Caribbean countries that require mandatory residence for a certain time during the first five years after obtaining citizenship.

Processing times are quite fast. St Kitts and Nevis will give you the fastest response (about 60 days) among the represented countries.

Despite some differences in the proposals, the Caribbean countries have the same requirements for the applicant:

  • availability of honestly earned capital;
  • identity verification;
  • ability to invest cash;
  • absence of "bad" diagnoses;
  • oath of allegiance.

You must wait for a response once you have completed all the necessary documentation. As a rule, it does not take much time. In a short period, you will be able to change your living conditions dramatically in a better way.
