Five Caribbean countries (Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Lucia) are considering introducing a simple in-country residency requirement, to be fulfilled 5 or 7 years after obtaining the country’s citizenship and passport, in addition to participating in educational programs related to local culture and history.
These proposals are part of a draft agreement prepared on July 1, 2025, overseen by the Eastern Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Regulatory Authority (EC CIRA), aimed at unifying policies and ensuring compliance with the new standards among participating countries.
This move reflects a new approach to boost actual connections between investors and the countries they become citizens of, reinforcing the idea that citizenship is not just a document but an opportunity to build a relationship with a new nation and to invest in a future that offers greater freedom and security for the investor and their family.
