High-end buyers in the Eastern Caribbean are increasingly seeking properties that come with a second passport through Citizenship-by-Investment (CBI) programs. Currently, 99% of buyers are focused on qualifying properties for citizenship, reflecting a shift from lifestyle purchases to securing a Plan B amidst rising political tensions in the U.S. Five Caribbean nations provide CBI options, allowing buyers to obtain passports through real estate investments starting at $300,000, facilitating visa-free travel to numerous countries. The demand for citizenship through investment programs has surged significantly, with applications and inquiries experiencing notable increases.
Right now, 99% of our buyers are looking for properties that qualify for citizenship by investment. It's not just about the lifestyle anymore-it's about having a Plan B.
Applications for investment migration programs processed by Henley & Partners jumped 64% in Q1 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, with inquiries up 53%.
We used to sell to lifestyle buyers who were just interested in a holiday home. But in the last 18 months, everything's changed.
Buyers are nervous about what's happening back home. They want the freedom to leave if they need to-and a house that earns rental income in the meantime.
