APEX experts have spoken extensively about Caribbean resort projects where you can buy a share to participate in the citizenship program. This was always done remotely, with those who preferred this option over making a donation to the state (a contribution to a fund) investing in Caribbean real estate. However, the Caribbean CBI countries are changing the conditions due to pressure from the US and Europe. Obviously they want investors to be required to visit the country of investment citizenship and have closer ties with it.
Expert opinion
“Caribbean countries have already announced in 2025 that they will introduce a 30-day stay requirement for the first five years of passport ownership. Therefore, this requirement will primarily affect those renewing their documents for the first time. We expect the new regulations to come into effect in the summer of 2026, which will attract a significant number of investors with families to the Caribbean. This will also spark interest in premium Caribbean real estate (both purchase and rental),” –
comments Nuri Katz, President of Apex Capital Partners and a resident of Antigua, Caribbean.
In 2026, there will be growing demand for Caribbean real estate from US HNWIs who, as a Plan B, want to find a center of vital interests in a neutral region with a good ecology and premium infrastructure, away from global turbulence.
How to choose Caribbean real Estate?
There isn’t many premium Caribbean real estate available, especially those with guaranteed reliable management. The local real estate market lacks fresh supply, and if there is a sharp increase in demand, the market will not quickly adapt to the situation.
