Caribbean Citizenship: Key Programs and Current Rules in 2025

In 2025, Caribbean programs are still the most popular in the world, thanks to well-established processing and the privileges of visa-free travel around the world.

In mid-May 2025, a series of meetings took place in the Caribbean between the heads of the units of the Citizenship by Investment programs of the states of Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, as well as lawyers who are jointly developing a local Regulator.
