Why Caribbean citizenship is so popular

The island nations of the Caribbean are beautiful and peaceful.  But this is not the only reason why people with substantial wealth are flocking to the island nations. The citizenship by investment programs of the Caribbean are very popular because of their quick processing period, the investments required are lower than the European citizenship by investment programs, investors experience faster return on investments and each island nation has different tax benefits that will help grow your wealth. The most popular citizenship by investment programs are those of Grenada, Dominica and St. Kitts and Nevis.

The most important Caribbean citizenship programs

The Grenada citizenship by investment program has as its greatest benefit the United States E2 Visa that allows the holder to live and work in the United States as well as open a business or expand a business in the US.
