Citizenship by investment

Every passport money can legally buy.

Twelve programmes are open in 2026. These are all of them — with real prices, real timelines, and the trade-offs other firms leave out.

St Kitts & Nevis

From

$250,000

The original. Running since 1984 — still the benchmark every other programme is measured against.

Dominica

From

$200,000

6–9 months

The lowest-cost Caribbean passport, running since 1993 — quiet, proven, efficient.

Grenada

From

$235,000

6–9 months

The only Caribbean passport with China access — and a door to the US E-2 investor visa.

Antigua & Barbuda

From

$230,000

6–9 months

The family programme — the cheapest way to move four or more people onto Caribbean passports.

St Lucia

From

$240,000

A European passport with Schengen access — in an EU candidate country.

What's no longer for sale

Malta — the last EU citizenship by investment — was ruled unlawful by the Court of Justice of the EU in April 2025 and terminated that July. Cyprus closed in 2020, Bulgaria in 2022, Montenegro in 2022. Anyone offering you an EU passport for a fixed price in 2026 is selling something that does not exist. If a credible European route reopens, our clients hear it from us first.

Which one is yours?

Send us your current passport and what you're solving for — mobility, a plan B, US access, taxes. You'll get a shortlist of two or three programmes, not a brochure of twelve.
