About
Why St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a multi-island nation in the eastern Caribbean, with a population of around 110,000 and Kingstown as its capital. In December 2025 the Prime Minister confirmed that the country would launch a citizenship-by-investment program in 2026, describing it as a critical economic pillar. That would make St. Vincent the sixth Caribbean program, alongside St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, and St. Lucia.
What's confirmed is the intent and the year. What isn't published yet is the legislation, the contribution amount, and the processing detail. Our working assumption, based on the established Caribbean programs, is a national-fund contribution in the USD 200,000 range for a single applicant, a fully remote process, and no residence requirement. We'll replace those estimates with confirmed figures the moment the rules are set.
The passport is the reason to pay attention. Unlike the small-island price plays, the Vincentian passport is already a strong travel document, with Schengen Area and United Kingdom access and roughly 150 destinations visa-free. A new Caribbean program with a passport this capable doesn't come along often.
As the newest entrant, St. Vincent has a reason to launch with competitive terms, and early files into a fresh program tend to get the cleanest handling. If you want to be positioned for that, we register your interest now, track the legislation, and move on day one. Nothing is paid until the program is live.

Benefits
What this citizenship gives you.
A strong Caribbean passport
The Vincentian passport already opens the Schengen Area and the United Kingdom visa-free, with roughly 150 destinations on the Henley count. Our Mobility Score puts it at 162. This is a proper travel document, not an entry-level one.
The newest Caribbean route
St. Vincent would join the established five (St. Kitts, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia) as the sixth Caribbean program. A new program usually launches with competitive terms to attract early files.
Likely remote, no residence
In line with the other Caribbean programs, expect a fully remote process with no residence requirement and no language test. The detail depends on the final legislation.
Dual citizenship recognised
St. Vincent recognises dual nationality, so you keep your existing passport.
