CBI is an increasingly popular, and flexible, path for achieving an additional passport.
The passport has the same rights as the country’s citizens with limited residence requirements. These are conferred to all subsequent generations and parents and in some circumstances can be conferred to unmarried siblings and grandparents.
For families who want to enjoy the freedom and benefit of a second passport, we offer Commonwealth citizenship for Grenada, St Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, St Lucia or Antigua & Barbuda.
CITIZENSHIP
CBI is an increasingly popular, and flexible, path for achieving an additional passport. In essence a country grants an applicant and the family citizenship in exchange for an investment in the economy.
The passport has the same rights as the country’s citizens without any residence requirements. These are conferred to all subsequent generations and in some instances can be conferred to parents and siblings.
A second passport can be obtained through any one of our trusted Caribbean CBI programmes: Grenada, St Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, St Lucia or Antigua & Barbuda.
