Some Caribbean countries have developed citizenship by investment programmes. Antigua and Barbuda, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, Grenada, and St. Lucia are some of the countries that offer this opportunity. Investments can be made in unit trusts and real estate.

The minimum investment is US$100,000 and this requirement only applies to investment funds. A minimum of US$200,000 must be invested in real estate. Each country sets its own requirements for the size of the investment, which can vary considerably.

To date, investment citizenship programmes for Russians are closed. It is impossible to obtain a Caribbean passport, even if you have a second citizenship.

However, other options are available:

1. Vanuatu citizenship for investment. To obtain this, you must contribute a minimum of US$130,000 to the Government Fund. The second passport of Vanuatu allows visa-free travel to more than 100 countries and offers the chance to obtain a long-term tourist visa to the UK and the US.
2. Turkish citizenship through the purchase of property. Suitable for those who can invest at least $400,000 in property in the country and want to visit more than 100 countries without restrictions.

To obtain citizenship through investment, you must follow the government's established procedure. Although the process may vary by country, the general steps are as follows:

1. Selecting an investment project. The investor researches the requirements for citizenship in the Caribbean countries based on the size of the investment.
2. Finding a licensed intermediary (agent). There is no need to apply directly to government agencies. Citizenship is granted through authorised agents, a list of which is available on government websites.
3. Making an investment. The investor invests funds in the chosen area through a licensed agent.
4. Collect the necessary documents. The investor prepares a personal dossier, a health policy and proof of investment. A criminal record check and proof of legal source of funds may also be required.
5. Application for Caribbean citizenship. An intermediary company sends the application and documents. No personal interview is usually required. All applicable fees are paid at this stage. Once the application has been processed, the agent receives a decision from the government department.
6. The investor receives a passport through the agent.
