No problem. You can still get into the U.K. visa free on a rubber raft!! The bonus is you get a free hotel room, 3 meals a day and a free cell phone! 😮
St. Kitts also doubled their real estate option. Minimum price of a detached home for CBI went up from $400,000 to $800,000. There are some condominiums that still qualify for $400,000 investment for certain properties, in certain areas, like Frigate Bay and other neighborhoods, but that still is $400K for a condo. St. Kitts also has 3 levels or residency. Temporary residency can be obtained if you rent (or own) and pay a fee of $600 or less per year. Temporary annual residency if you rent a place and pay $1500 per year, or permanent residency if you buy a home at $350,000+ and a ~$5000 one time fee.
I got my St Kitts and Nevis passport/citizenship just in time. I got mine for $125K. It took 11 months after I turned in my documents. There are a lot of people trying to escape the monster.
11 months....I thought they guaranteed the Accelerated Approval process with that 125K PROMO and should be 45 to 60 days. Even the non AAP should be 90 to 120 days. Did they tell you why they didnt honour the service level timelines? Was there anything you could do about the delays.

I was traveling from Iceland to the UK in 2017 and the UK customs/border agent gave me a very hard time. I had no onward ticket and no solid plans for my stay in the UK. After some time of back and forth he finally let me pass after scribbling a bunch of things on the back of my entrance form. I think the only reason he let me go was because I was traveling business class on BA 🤷♂️🤣
The UK has a problem with asylum seekers from France illegally crossing the English channel to get to Britain. Everyday this on the news in England, so they are taking a very strict approach now as they have very high levels of immigration legal and illegal with people overstaying their visa
You’re paying 150.000$ for a second passport so you can go to US/UK/Europe?? You have to be crazy. If I ever get that second passport, I’ll never walk a foot in the West ever again!
I have American and EU(French) citizenship and that’s good enough for me. I used to want to retire in a developing country, and I’ve pretty much been to every country in Asia and most of Latin America, although now I prefer to retire in the European countryside. It’s just not worth the difference in cost to give up western values, the rule of law and the robustness and transparency of western institutions. If anything, traveling so much and the current political and social landscape has made me realize more than ever that those things are incredibly valuable.
Even though they lost UK access, I'm glad I got my Dominica passport last year. It seems like there is going to be a whole lot more hassle and possibly cost in the future with any of the CBI programs. St. Kitts doubled their price and I wonder if the others will increase theirs as well. As it was, there was a lot of paperwork involved, especially providing bank statements for 12 months. Any additional hurdles will reduce the number of potential applicants. The idea of having to visit there just to pick up a passport would be a huge impediment. I hope when my passport expires that I can renew it at the consulate in the US and not have to travel there to do it. I did make a trip there already and it was nice (except for the roads), but to go just for a passport renewal would be very expensive.
Its highly dangerous as well those bureaucrats in the passport office might have a bad day and go crazy and shoot you dead on the spot! Its a high risk he would take discreet body armour is a must on the visit there 😂
Thanks Andrew, I knew you would be researching this in more detail for your clients before putting out a video. I will gladly give up my UK citizenship for a Vanuatu and St Lucia one, most sensible and intelligent people want to get out of the UK, not travel there.
Negative thing about that is you will need a visa to travel back to the UK, US, EU countries in the future if you were to do that however a positive is that you would have freedom of movement for other Caricom countries by next year. I wouldn't say most sensible people want out of the UK, if it was the case most would have left already & there wouldn't be a massive amount of skilled people from across the world trying to get in
You wouldn't necessarily have to give up your citizenship. Unlike the US, moving out of the UK will end their ability to tax you. Your cheapest option would probably be to get a residence permit for the country where you want to move. A second passport would be a good idea, but not mandatory. Between the two, I would pick St. Lucia over Vanuatu. It's cheaper and has a larger list of visa free countries.
@@LoveClassicMusic0205 I am from the UK getting my st kitts passport. The UK does tax you internationally if you have a tax resident status so its important you meet the criteria to not be a tax resident. That said you can keep your uk passport still.
@@Lando-kx6so With respect, I wouldn't want to go back at this moment, or indeed in the decades to come, as things are only going to get worse. However, I agree most sensible people haven't got out, yet, but some have and some are in the planning stages to do so in the future. The rest either don't know how much they are being screwed by the state, or they are too sentimental to make the move.
@@LoveClassicMusic0205 I completely agree, you don't have to give up citizenship, and it should be a last resort. But as someone else has already pointed out, the UK government and HMRC does not work like that, contrary to what most people believe, just being outside is not good enough, and if you are naive enough to trust them not to tax you, then you will get yourself into serious trouble, and I simply don't trust them and want to be able to sleep at night. As for the passports, I have ties to Vanuatu, so it's not just about the cost, or the list of visa free countries, although Vanuatu has it's own benefits, this is about protecting your future freedom and going where you are treated best. So why not get both, and maybe a third and fourth, to give you the option to move around when things really start to turn nasty in the west, which they will do.
I actually would put my eggs in Southeast Asia or Latin America for a second passport. My current primary passport is the American passport I have...but I am interested in Mexican offerings. Same for Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. Costa Rica is okay but a little pricey. Same for Panama. For Southeast Asia, I would do a residence in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
Best way to get into the UK is travel to France, buy a rubber dingy and sale out into English Channel where you will be picked up by the RNLI. Claim to be an Asylum seeker after throwing away passport and you will get free accommodation in 5 star hotel, iphone, food and money. 10's of thousands of people are doing this each year costing 8 plus million pounds a day to the citizens of the UK in taxes, whilst many UK citizens sleep on the street and get little in financial help.
Easier and MUCH cheaper method: Go as a tourist for 3 months. If you LIKE it there (and haven’t caused trouble with the locals) RENEW your visa for another 3 months. Then at 6 months, just go back and spend some time in your own country and get a NEW visa…. Rinse and Repeat ! No “Investments” required outside of your plane ticket. A much cheaper way to live and PRESERVE your precious assets.
UK? Just go to France and catch a boat ride with the other migrants. They might even put you up in a four star hotel. Fly into Heathrow... well that's another matter.
The global norm is countries get visa free access when the country is developed enough to be attractive to live there. These programs need to use rhe fees for real estate and health care.
If you have a tier A passport I don’t see the sense in getting a Saint Kitts, unless you’re planning to settle down in one of the Caribbean countries. For me getting the passport was essential
You might still need greater tax benefits that St. Kitts certainly has - zero personal income, zero international business, 0.25% property tax, zero inheritance tax, zero capital gains, zero interest/dividend, etc.
If the USA kills dual citizenship, will that mean those with dual citizenship will need to cancel one citizenship, or does the cancellation only apply to those to those who want it later, but don't have it 🤔
I' not gonna lie even though I have never been to the U.K., I dont really want to go besides seeing the Thames River and eating Fish and Chips. and the Thames river thing is mostly from watching Benny Hill when I was little and the Fosh n chips mostly because of Gordon Ramsey lol. other than those two things I cant really think of a reason I would go out of my way to see the U.K. other than maybe some Ancestry tourism type of things but as an African American/ADOS who knows how fruitful that will be lol. anyway. anothet great episode.
Most of Europe is eating their own and cater to the law breakers. Other than a visit, I don't see much reason to go to the EU. 'Oh, I need to apply for a visa? Guess I'll go somewhere warm and safe...'
@@Bambotb it means someone has paid to get a citizenship which is ENTIRELY different to saying that they aren’t a national security threat or a desirable person! I would 100% ban visa FREE travel for any country who sells their passport
@@CesaresChannel , depends if the countries or places giving them have proper vetting process etc and who they accept and give them to and for how much, and wether they require any amount of stay in the country or not, etc.
Having to go to the country to collect the documents in person is hugely problematic as unless they issue a "temporary/emergency passport (single use)" to enter the country then you'd be entering the country illegally as if you're a citizen of a country you must enter and exit it on their passport. Breaking the law by entering on a foreign passport immediately terminates CBI as its a "critical breech" of the CBI contract.
@@wuerges Sorry but you're actually wrong, what I've stated is the truth as backed up by law - ask any lawyer, border guard or anyone working in federal law enforcement. If you are a citizen of a country you must enter and exit it on that passport - that is literally law in all but two countries in the world. If you enter a country on one passport and exit on another, you will have legally overstayed or failed to legally exit as you haven't "checked out". Your passports aren't linked. Just because you may not like what I said, doesn't make it wrong. Doing what you said is literally committing a crime that carries a long jail sentence.
@@matthewnirenberg Some countries (The US for example) don't stamp your passport on the way out. I was recently in Dominica and they didn't stamp my passport on the way out either. I asked specifically and they said they don't do it. I also fail to see the problem going to pick up the passport. Just use your current passport to enter the country. When you leave, just have them stamp it (if they are a country which stamps them on the way out) and don't bother giving them the new passport.
@@wuerges Some countries don't even stamp you out. The US doesn't and Dominica doesn't either. I'm sure there are plenty more which don't, but I don't have a list.

I was going to ask Nomad Capitalist this question, too. I've heard of the North Macedonian CBI, but I don't know anyone who actually has done it or even if it's actually a real thing.
Hey there, If you want to know more about North Macedonia and Its passport, here is an interesting article for you: nomadcapitalist.com/nomad-passport-index/passport/north-macedonia/
The only way Saint Kitts and Nevis will lose access is if they do not comply with the standards. The UK sent warnings to Dominica countless times to tighten their CBI programs but they didn’t listen. Chinese nationals that were refused UK visas were using Dominica as a back door route to get in. So if you want an answer keep monitoring Saint Kitts and Nevis CBI program
I've said before, that the safe people are the ones who obtain citizenship by descent in the Caribbean. CBI's are always at risk of imposed rules, especially if the US imposes it's pressure on them like they always like to do.
Nice country, but there are a few issues: 1) Hard to get residency there unless you are already an EU citizen. 2) Takes 8 years physical residence to become a citizen. 3) Have to renounce other citizenships unless you are an EU citizen or marry a local. 4) No tax treaty with USA so you pay 30% withholding on US dividends. 5) Sticky tax residence...just having a property available makes you resident. It might suit you if you are an EU citizen without US investments. Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta, Greece, Romania, Czechia, Portugal are alternatives depending on your situation and weather preferences.
If you get your documents into the CIU before the 30th of June the original rules and the discount will still apply. These new rules are for fresh applicants.
MILLIONS from 3rd world impoverished countries. Those investing in 2nd citz from countries without visa free access also want to be able to travel there freely. If you are an affluent person from a country lacking access and want your children to see Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, Stonehenge, etc,... you want passports the make that travel easy so as not to wait months or years on visas, are right? The fact that you personally have no desire to visit the UK is really, rather,..... irrelevant.
why all these countries are making it harder to travel, I wish we could go back to the 90s and travel without hassle, better times when the terrorists didn't win
Honestly, would rather avoid the UK entirely for any given fiscal year unless I'm in for a vacation for a week or two. I think it would be wise to get a citizenship and passport from countries/territories like Vanuatu or St Kitts if you have seven figures lying around, and use it as an investment in other countries (like the US) so you could mitigate your total tax obligations with said passports/nationality. Vanuatu was an interesting option, if it weren't because of these EU laws and reputational problems.
Their prices increasing by at least +1x but their value decreasing by just as much! such a nice deal! 😆😆🤦🤦 Okay, maybe still good for some desperate folks from places as Burkina Faso and Pakistan etc.
I never much liked the idea of having citizenship of a small island. After persisting and living in Panama for 13 years I managed to get Panamanian citizenship. When I travel everybody recognizes that Panama is an independent country. I still have my American citizenship. On.my Panamanian passport it says I was born in the USA. I have no interest in going to the UK although my father was born in Scotland. Anyway now I have been living in Panama for 23 years with being a citizen for the past 10 years.
I dont need a second passport, cause i dont need to move any money away, from taxes, i dont get why people, dont like paying taxes, everyone should just do it, and stop whining 😬 If you have alot of money, spend them dont keep them, only keep small amounts in you bank, and keep spending 👍🏻
You would have access to more countries and a lower cost with Dominica or St. Lucia. A family of 4 would have the cheapest price with Antigua & Barbuda.

@@Bambotb CBI 'citizens' have to submit an application and pay a substantial fee to get citizenship for their future children. Their descendants have no right to citizenship. Caribbean CBI is 2nd class citizenship at best.
That’s basically British citizenship 😂, it’s very expensive for the average person and only if your children are born in the uk they get the citizenship
@@jimbell122 actually quite different. British citizenship is securely handed down through the generations. Caribbean CBI citizens can't hand citizenship down to their children without permission and a large fee.

I was traveling from Iceland to the UK in 2017 and the UK customs/border agent gave me a very hard time. I had no onward ticket and no solid plans for my stay in the UK. After some time of back and forth he finally let me pass after scribbling a bunch of things on the back of my entrance form. I think the only reason he let me go was because I was traveling business class on BA 🤷♂️🤣

The UK has a problem with asylum seekers from France illegally crossing the English channel to get to Britain. Everyday this on the news in England, so they are taking a very strict approach now as they have very high levels of immigration legal and illegal with people overstaying their visa
That's not why they did this. They did this b/c of their cbi programs & the type of people using it to get into the UK
I don’t think people that paid $100,000 + for a passport are staying illegally in the UK…

Is there any infographic that shows availability of passport/residence options based on net worth?
I have American and EU(French) citizenship and that’s good enough for me. I used to want to retire in a developing country, and I’ve pretty much been to every country in Asia and most of Latin America, although now I prefer to retire in the European countryside. It’s just not worth the difference in cost to give up western values, the rule of law and the robustness and transparency of western institutions. If anything, traveling so much and the current political and social landscape has made me realize more than ever that those things are incredibly valuable.
You talk here and elsewhere about how Vanuatu is bad, do you have a video expounding on why?
Even though they lost UK access, I'm glad I got my Dominica passport last year. It seems like there is going to be a whole lot more hassle and possibly cost in the future with any of the CBI programs. St. Kitts doubled their price and I wonder if the others will increase theirs as well. As it was, there was a lot of paperwork involved, especially providing bank statements for 12 months. Any additional hurdles will reduce the number of potential applicants.
The idea of having to visit there just to pick up a passport would be a huge impediment. I hope when my passport expires that I can renew it at the consulate in the US and not have to travel there to do it. I did make a trip there already and it was nice (except for the roads), but to go just for a passport renewal would be very expensive.
@@JoBlakeLisbon Don't be an asshole. I was simply saying it's going to be more hassle now than last year.

Thanks Andrew, I knew you would be researching this in more detail for your clients before putting out a video. I will gladly give up my UK citizenship for a Vanuatu and St Lucia one, most sensible and intelligent people want to get out of the UK, not travel there.
Negative thing about that is you will need a visa to travel back to the UK, US, EU countries in the future if you were to do that however a positive is that you would have freedom of movement for other Caricom countries by next year. I wouldn't say most sensible people want out of the UK, if it was the case most would have left already & there wouldn't be a massive amount of skilled people from across the world trying to get in
You wouldn't necessarily have to give up your citizenship. Unlike the US, moving out of the UK will end their ability to tax you. Your cheapest option would probably be to get a residence permit for the country where you want to move. A second passport would be a good idea, but not mandatory. Between the two, I would pick St. Lucia over Vanuatu. It's cheaper and has a larger list of visa free countries.
@@LoveClassicMusic0205 I am from the UK getting my st kitts passport. The UK does tax you internationally if you have a tax resident status so its important you meet the criteria to not be a tax resident. That said you can keep your uk passport still.
@@Lando-kx6so With respect, I wouldn't want to go back at this moment, or indeed in the decades to come, as things are only going to get worse. However, I agree most sensible people haven't got out, yet, but some have and some are in the planning stages to do so in the future. The rest either don't know how much they are being screwed by the state, or they are too sentimental to make the move.
@@LoveClassicMusic0205 I completely agree, you don't have to give up citizenship, and it should be a last resort. But as someone else has already pointed out, the UK government and HMRC does not work like that, contrary to what most people believe, just being outside is not good enough, and if you are naive enough to trust them not to tax you, then you will get yourself into serious trouble, and I simply don't trust them and want to be able to sleep at night. As for the passports, I have ties to Vanuatu, so it's not just about the cost, or the list of visa free countries, although Vanuatu has it's own benefits, this is about protecting your future freedom and going where you are treated best. So why not get both, and maybe a third and fourth, to give you the option to move around when things really start to turn nasty in the west, which they will do.
I actually would put my eggs in Southeast Asia or Latin America for a second passport. My current primary passport is the American passport I have...but I am interested in Mexican offerings. Same for Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. Costa Rica is okay but a little pricey. Same for Panama.
For Southeast Asia, I would do a residence in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
Hi Andrew. What about a video on Hungary's purchase a property for residence program... Thanks
Best way to get into the UK is travel to France, buy a rubber dingy and sale out into English Channel where you will be picked up by the RNLI. Claim to be an Asylum seeker after throwing away passport and you will get free accommodation in 5 star hotel, iphone, food and money. 10's of thousands of people are doing this each year costing 8 plus million pounds a day to the citizens of the UK in taxes, whilst many UK citizens sleep on the street and get little in financial help.
Lol, I woud never in a million years ever want to set foot in the UK.
Easier and MUCH cheaper method: Go as a tourist for 3 months. If you LIKE it there (and haven’t caused trouble with the locals) RENEW your visa for another 3 months. Then at 6 months, just go back and spend some time in your own country and get a NEW visa…. Rinse and Repeat ! No “Investments” required outside of your plane ticket. A much cheaper way to live and PRESERVE your precious assets.
You can still travel visa free into the uk/northern ireland no border or emigration. Ferry to uk.
That’s not allowed if you’re not a UK or Irish national.
UK? Just go to France and catch a boat ride with the other migrants. They might even put you up in a four star hotel. Fly into Heathrow... well that's another matter.

Is there any benefit to a St Kitts passport if you already have 3 tier A passports?
One benefit is that it impresses Kittitian ladies, making it easier to get some 🐱 if you travel to the the 🏝!
If you have a tier A passport I don’t see the sense in getting a Saint Kitts, unless you’re planning to settle down in one of the Caribbean countries. For me getting the passport was essential
You might still need greater tax benefits that St. Kitts certainly has - zero personal income, zero international business, 0.25% property tax, zero inheritance tax, zero capital gains, zero interest/dividend, etc.
If the USA kills dual citizenship, will that mean those with dual citizenship will need to cancel one citizenship, or does the cancellation only apply to those to those who want it later, but don't have it 🤔
Are there any potential plans in the US to kill dual citizenship? Who came up with that idea?
Not likely to happen.
Many even in congress have dual citizenship.
it's not dual citizenship, it's two or three citizenships. there is a major difference. US doesn't recognize other citizenships, but doesn't ban them.
They won’t cancel it, but they may impose more restrictions

@@CesaresChannel you clearly have never gone for a visa interview before.
Having to go to the country to collect the documents in person is hugely problematic as unless they issue a "temporary/emergency passport (single use)" to enter the country then you'd be entering the country illegally as if you're a citizen of a country you must enter and exit it on their passport. Breaking the law by entering on a foreign passport immediately terminates CBI as its a "critical breech" of the CBI contract.
This is just not true. You can enter a country and leave with another. You can even use 2 passports to get in or out of a country.
@@wuerges Sorry but you're actually wrong, what I've stated is the truth as backed up by law - ask any lawyer, border guard or anyone working in federal law enforcement.
If you are a citizen of a country you must enter and exit it on that passport - that is literally law in all but two countries in the world.
If you enter a country on one passport and exit on another, you will have legally overstayed or failed to legally exit as you haven't "checked out". Your passports aren't linked.
Just because you may not like what I said, doesn't make it wrong. Doing what you said is literally committing a crime that carries a long jail sentence.
@@matthewnirenberg Some countries (The US for example) don't stamp your passport on the way out. I was recently in Dominica and they didn't stamp my passport on the way out either. I asked specifically and they said they don't do it.
I also fail to see the problem going to pick up the passport. Just use your current passport to enter the country. When you leave, just have them stamp it (if they are a country which stamps them on the way out) and don't bother giving them the new passport.
@@wuerges Some countries don't even stamp you out. The US doesn't and Dominica doesn't either. I'm sure there are plenty more which don't, but I don't have a list.
@@LoveClassicMusic0205Yes. Matthew is misinformed. It's totally normal to show more than one passport and get both stamped, or neither. Or only one.

They probably will along with the EU due to their CBI programs
@@orionspurDominica had just as many ties... they lost UK visa free... Watch, the EU will follow suit down the line.
The only way Saint Kitts and Nevis will lose access is if they do not comply with the standards. The UK sent warnings to Dominica countless times to tighten their CBI programs but they didn’t listen. Chinese nationals that were refused UK visas were using Dominica as a back door route to get in. So if you want an answer keep monitoring Saint Kitts and Nevis CBI program

What's your opinion on Croatia?
Nice country, but there are a few issues:
1) Hard to get residency there unless you are already an EU citizen.
2) Takes 8 years physical residence to become a citizen.
3) Have to renounce other citizenships unless you are an EU citizen or marry a local.
4) No tax treaty with USA so you pay 30% withholding on US dividends.
5) Sticky tax residence...just having a property available makes you resident.
It might suit you if you are an EU citizen without US investments. Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta, Greece, Romania, Czechia, Portugal are alternatives depending on your situation and weather preferences.
The UK and Europe are becoming less desirable to visit.
If you got your application into the CIU before all these changes are you grandfathered to the original rules.?
