Citizenship by investment

Five programmes, compared honestly.

Each Eastern Caribbean programme is created by its own legislation and run by its own government unit. They differ in what they cost, who you can include, and how long they take. Choosing between them is the advice.

Antigua & Barbuda

JDW's home programme, and the one the firm is licensed to represent. Four qualifying routes, and the only Caribbean programme with a dedicated university fund option built for larger families.

How to choose

What actually separates the programmes.

Marketing material tends to compare passports by counting visa-free destinations. In practice, three things matter far more:

Who you can bring

Age limits for dependent children, whether dependent parents qualify and at what age, whether unmarried siblings can be included, and whether future spouses and children can be added later. This differs materially between the five, and for most families it is the deciding factor.

How your source of funds will be treated

Every programme runs due diligence through independent firms. The questions are similar; the tolerance for complex or cross-border structures is not. Preparing for this properly is most of the work.

What happens after approval

Residence obligations, real-estate holding periods, renewal requirements, and whether the investment can be resold into the programme afterwards.
