This benefit is of particular relevance to citizens of
countries that have passports with limited visa waiver
agreements. As such, these citizens are used to having to
apply for a visa and being at the mercy of a consulate for
processing. This limits the ability to travel on short notice,
not to mention the cost and inconvenience of being without
your passport while the application is being considered.
The increased mobility is a major consideration, as
Caribbean passports allow visa-free travel to more than
140 countries, which include the Schengen Area, the U.K.,
Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia and the UAE.
There is also value with travelling on a less prominent
passport if you travel regularly to sensitive parts of the
world. In more extreme situations, political instability or
conflict can impede one’s ability to renew a passport.
Having a second passport provides a valuable Plan
B. Unfortunately, certain people have an immediate
disadvantage to others that’s purely a consequence of
their country of birth. Obtaining a second residency and/
or citizenship provides a solution and an accessible
alternative. Other factors that applicants consider are
security, educational opportunities and lifestyle.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The price for the CBI programs begins at $100,000 U.S.
dollars for a single person. The fees increase proportionally
based on the size of the applicant’s family. Some programs
offer better value for the money for a single applicant while
others do so for larger families. When considering which
program to choose, it is important to carefully examine
the features of each offering and determine which is the
best fit. A trusted and experienced investment migration
consultant can assist with this process.
Another important factor is to decide which qualifying
option is best for the client: a contribution/donation or
the purchase of real estate in an approved project. The
Caribbean CBI programs have real estate offerings starting
at $200,000 and, in some cases, that may be more attractive
than just making a donation. Applicants should consider if
they will use the property or if they wish to invest a bit more
but be able to own a piece of the Caribbean and receive
some returns. For those interested in having a connection
to the U.S., the E-2 visa provides a path to those wanting to
operate a business in the U.S. Grenada is the only Caribbean
CBI country that is an E-2 treaty country.
WHY GRENADA?
Grenada, known as the Isle of Spice, is one of the most
spectacular islands in the Caribbean. Grenada is a beautiful
country of lush rainforests, numerous waterfalls and world-
renowned beaches. Grenada is a member of the Caribbean
Community (CARICOM) and the Organization of Eastern
Caribbean States (OECS). Citizens of Grenada enjoy visa-free
travel to 143 destinations, including China. Grenada is the
only Caribbean country with this privilege.
