The Guide Library
Every guide here began as a briefing I give on the phone. Four are free and go out by email, usually the same day. The island market guides are being written now, and will be paid.
A free PDF is usually a trade: your email address for a brochure. Each of these is the written version of a conversation I would have anyway, and the numbers are in it because a first call goes better when nobody is working from a price list read two years ago.
That matters more here than in Florida. A US$200,000 floor went under every citizenship route in the region on 1 July 2024, and in late September 2025 all five heads of government signed the treaty creating ECCIRA, one regional regulator for all five programs. A guide written before those dates is not dated. It is wrong.
How the library works
Two states, and every tile says which. Free means ask and it arrives by email, usually the same day, with no qualification step behind it. Coming soon means the guide is being written; prices are not set, so no tile shows one.
There is no download link on this page, and that is deliberate. A file parked behind a form goes stale the week a threshold moves, and nobody holding it finds out.
Why the citizenship guides are free
Because the enquiries worth having come from people who already know the hard parts. A document that names Antigua’s presence obligation, the seven-year resale hold on St Kitts & Nevis real estate and the fact that Dominica, Grenada and St. Lucia all tax their residents does more in twenty minutes than an hour on the phone.
It is also the one thing a sales office cannot do. No development pays this practice to promote it. Where my team represents one it has its own page here and says so; everywhere else my duty runs to the client who hired me. That is why a guide of mine can say a rental projection does not hold up.
I met this as a client before I met it as an advisor: I left Canada in 2020 and was taxed as though I had sold nearly everything I owned, then took Antiguan citizenship in 2022 as an applicant — same file, same interview, same wait.

The Caribbean Citizenship Guide
- Minimum qualifying spend on both routes, program by program, fees on top
- Processing times as files actually run, against the ones quoted
- Visa-free access per country, never blended — 155 St Kitts & Nevis, 154 Antigua & Barbuda, 147 Grenada, 145 Dominica, 145 St. Lucia (Henley Passport Index, 2026)
Antigua Real Estate Guide
- The flat US$300,000 real-estate minimum, however many buyers stand behind the purchase
- The 5% Non-Citizen Land Holding Licence an ordinary purchase carries, and the approved-development track that replaces it
- The presence rule — 30 days in the first five years, applied administratively while the 2026 bill sits with Parliament
Nevis Investment Guide
- What the flag absorbs — insurance at scale, staffing, the rental desk — and its cost
- Whole ownership against a deeded one-tenth interest from US$325,000, carrying roughly 12 days of guaranteed annual use
- The 10% alien landholding licence, and the 31 July 2027 biometric deadline reaching back to passports already issued
Second Citizenship for Americans
- US citizens remain taxed by the United States on worldwide income regardless of a second citizenship, and none of the five Caribbean programs has a US income tax treaty
- Where the E-2 treaty route through Grenada does and does not apply
- What Puerto Rico’s Act 60 changes inside the US system rather than around it, and the 183 days it asks
One guide per island market. Paid, and being written now.
Each market on this site is getting its own guide: what actually trades, what a foreign buyer pays on top of the price, and where resale is thin. Prices are not set, so no tile shows one.
Nevis and Antigua are covered by the free guides above. Barbuda, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Costa Rica and Panama are queued behind these eight.
Ask for a guide
One note a month, unsubscribe in one click, never shared. Every figure is confirmed against the current position before anything is signed.
A guide is the long version. Meanwhile: what US$300,000 to US$400,000 actually buys, an audit of every Caribbean program, insurance rather than a tax play, for Americans, the five programs side by side, and the real-estate hub, market by market.
Before you hand over an email address.
Which guides are free, and which are paid?
The four above are free, with no qualification step. The island market guides are paid and still being written, so no price is shown — better nothing than a number I have not set.
Why is there no download button?
Because no file sits behind this page. Each guide is sent by hand: slower by a few hours, better for accuracy, since the copy you get is the copy my team revised last.
Will a second passport lower my US tax bill?
No, and the Americans guide says so on its first page. US citizens remain taxed by the United States on worldwide income regardless of a second citizenship, and none of the five Caribbean programs has a US income tax treaty. Buy the passport for mobility; price the tax question separately.
Will a guide tell me a program is wrong for me?
Regularly. Antigua’s 30-day presence obligation, the seven-year resale hold on St Kitts & Nevis real estate and the fact that Dominica, Grenada and St. Lucia tax their residents carry the same weight as the attractive facts.
