Specialist focusSecond citizenship advice
Citizenship by investment can give international families and founders more freedom to travel, live and plan ahead. It is also a big decision, and right now it needs careful, honest advice.
The EU wants these programmes wound down by 2028
- In June 2026 the European Commission wrote to the five Eastern Caribbean countries that run citizenship by investment programmes, including Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis and Grenada, asking them to wind the programmes down by 1 June 2028.
- Under EU rules in force since 30 December 2025, running one of these programmes can be grounds for suspending visa-free travel to the Schengen area. A suspension would affect everyone holding that country's passport, including people who are already citizens.
- The governments have not agreed to close their programmes. Talks with the EU are continuing, and the programmes remain open to applications for now.
- Separately, since 1 January 2026 the United States has restricted some visas for nationals of Antigua and Barbuda.
We take you through what this means for your plans before you commit to anything.

Who this is for
Entrepreneurs, investors and families who are thinking about a second citizenship for travel, security or long-term planning, and want an independent view before they commit a large sum of money.
How we help
Choosing the right programme
We compare Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis and Grenada side by side for your situation: total cost, timelines, family members you can include, travel access and the risks each one carries.
Getting your application ready
Every applicant goes through strict government background checks. We help you gather and check your documents and explain where your money came from clearly, so there are no surprises.
Working with the licensed agent
Each government only accepts applications through its licensed agents. We introduce you to a licensed agent we work with, keep the process moving and keep you updated.
An honest view of the 2028 risk
We help you weigh up the timing, what would happen if visa-free access changes, and whether a second citizenship still makes sense for you.
The programmes at a glance
Minimum amounts for a single applicant, before government, processing and due diligence fees, as published in October 2026. Governments change these often, so we confirm current figures with you before you commit.
Citizenship options review
A fixed-scope first piece of work, so you can decide with the full picture.
- A private session on your goals, your family and your timing.
- A side-by-side comparison of the programmes for your situation, with the real total cost.
- An honest risk assessment, including the EU's 2028 deadline and the US restrictions.
- A short written summary with next steps, and an introduction to a licensed agent if you decide to go ahead.
What we don’t do
- We don't sell citizenship or guarantee approval. Each government decides every application itself.
- We don't submit applications. That is done by a government-licensed agent, as each programme requires.
- We don't give legal, tax or investment advice. Real-estate options are investments that can lose value, and tax advice should come from a qualified adviser.
- We don't help anyone avoid sanctions, tax or law enforcement. Every client goes through our own checks first.
- If we receive a fee from an agent or developer, we tell you in writing before you agree to anything.
