I would add that if you are a Chinese national you should pick an island that recognizes Taiwan and not the PRC and also a program that does not publish the name of new citizens by investment. The reason is twofold. First, islands that recognize China are more likely to cancel your passport if you ever run foul of the PRC (Vanuatu is a case in point). Second, the PRC does not recognize dual citizenship. So for the purposes of this video, St Kitts & Nevis would be the best option - because it recognizes Taiwan and does not publish names. St Lucia also recognizes Taiwan but it publishes the names of new citizens each year as a matter of public record.
There is no guarantee much longer because Taiwan has been losing countries. It's only a matter of time. What happens to a Chinese holder of a St. Kitts passport?
Honestly for me dude it was just speaking to my agent for the first time. I had no idea about which program but when I heard his voice I thought to myself "this is the guy". Programs use agents as filters for potential applicants so make sure your agent really cares about you and is really determined to bring it to the finish line. I was not approved in the first round because the board wanted to ask why I was applying personally, very fair question. Just about a year later I became a citizen 😃 It's all about attitude, patience and effort and it will pay off. So don't focus on the specific program, focus on who your comfortable with so you can work as a team to see positive results
Which one of these citizenships; can you pass down the citizenship to future generations; grandkids, etc. with no restrictions and additional fees. Thanks
@@OffshoreCitizen Thank u. Probably, just for a visit, including d islands in Bora Bora, Maldives, Mauritius n Seychelles. If there's an open opportunity, I'm eyeing somewhere pristine, serene n tranquil in d Netherlands or Switzerland. 😀
I don't completely agree with the advice here. In regards to pure visa-free/e-visa access, I don't understand the emphasis on St. Lucia. St. Kitts provides the best access to Europe, but most other Caricom passports land not far behind. Grenada and Kitts provide best coverage of South America, with Dominica not far behind (lacking Chile), but St Lucia lacks Brazil and Uruguay. But St Kitts is largely insufficient in South East Asia (although it does include Taiwan along with St Kitts), but Grenada and Dominica include 30 days visa free to China which is a big one. Barbuda is the only program giving visa free to South Africa. Myself, based on this, I'd put Dominica or Grenada in strong competition with each other for the top. Grenada gives Chile in SA over Dominica, but Dominica is forging closer ties with UAE (a major asian hub), and Dominica is currently less by almost $50K I believe. Not seeing the advantage of St. Kitts except that it is truly a tax free residence location (and perhaps a lovely place to live with easier access) and perhaps with a little extra $$, a new St Kitts holder can establish tax residence while actually living there.
Why did you think Turkey is "a nice Plan B back-up option" versus St. Kitts? Would seem that if I were to open a bank account abroad Turkey would be a stronger option. Is it possible that Hungary will open again?
@@OffshoreCitizen The main issue with turkey is lack of shenghen access, but that could be solved by adding a European golden visa to it. Under those circumstances the Turkish passport is actually very strong.
Great video, as always ... so throwing into the pix of income and generation thereof, so for Young middle-aged couples, head deep in this space online what would be the best middle ground for the taxes on crypto tax-free or fees and trading with an online business as well ? ... tx
So helpful just a straightforward breakdown of how the nuts and bults shake out...but I can't shake the need to know what its like to live in these places...no one thinks they might ever live in these Islands? What about VF back to the US if you renounce? Great content.
Umm! Sorry to burst your bubble but get Caribbean ain’t easy, the level of due diligence they do is incredible, I got my Dominica citizenship and the amount of paper work I had to collect was crazy!
@@OffshoreCitizenno this is Not the Dominica Video. i Made Friends on MySpace from d.r. and they were very friendly and warm , more than any other country. I recently noticed they have good Population growth and produce own food which is great on an Island. Crime rate is unfortunately there.
if its just America and china i don't care , but what for Canada, Italy "EU" , Indonesia, Asia ... etc Also ... is getting a visa really a 'big deal' financially, in the grand scheme of things ...
Do you know any UK accountants that can help me sort out 4 years of crypto investments & taxes? Most accountants have no clue bout crypto's. Thank you 😎✌
Hey first time here. Great content. Any of those Caribbean countries that accept investment by crypto? Thanks P.s please stop moving your hands, had to look the other way. Also please speak louder and slower!
In years of watching, this is probably the best video I've seen on Caribbean CBIs
This is a huge compliment! Thanks!
@@OffshoreCitizen the only improvement I would to to be perfect would be to put the timestamps for each country! Cheers

Those guys were criminals fleeing China after running scams.
nice thought
Where do you find info on whether countries publish new citizens or not? Do you know if other countries like Dominica publish new citizens?
There is no guarantee much longer because Taiwan has been losing countries. It's only a matter of time. What happens to a Chinese holder of a St. Kitts passport?
I don't really care about which gives me access to the E.U and/or U.K. all I care about is which is best for taxes and flexibility of acquisition.

Happy to hear about your experience and that it all worked out in the end. What country did you go for?😄
@@OffshoreCitizen sry but that part has to stay confidential
in the news last week, Vanuatu citizens in Kabul asked help from Vanuatu M.F.A. to be evacuated, not to Vanuatu but to UK instead...
Which one of these citizenships; can you pass down the citizenship to future generations; grandkids, etc. with no restrictions and additional fees. Thanks
We'll create a video on this, great question thanks for asking it
Antigua become attractive if you enjoy routinely spending time in South Africa, but it's not so good if you love spending time in Buenos Aires.
Im from Buenos aires
~Excellent summary-appreciate your openness - maybe for the next video if you can outline the costs of the programs you just mentioned.
There are seperate videos on many of the countries, we've already made in the past. You can find all the info there
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
You're welcome!
Which one would you choose?
@@OffshoreCitizen Thank u. Probably, just for a visit, including d islands in Bora Bora, Maldives, Mauritius n Seychelles. If there's an open opportunity, I'm eyeing somewhere pristine, serene n tranquil in d Netherlands or Switzerland. 😀

The disadvantage of Turkey is the passport is quite weak.
Hungary likely will reopen next year

St Kitts is the best I think. Having said that, you can't beat an EU passport, although they don't sell theirs so easily!
True that ☺
Have you ever visited any of the islands?
Umm! Sorry to burst your bubble but get Caribbean ain’t easy, the level of due diligence they do is incredible, I got my Dominica citizenship and the amount of paper work I had to collect was crazy!
What are the papers you find hard to collect?
@@ahmedslytherin6860 what was the process/experience like? I mean, the parts that aren't usually mentioned in videos like this?
I always liked Dominican Republic😮
Keep in mind that we are talking about Dominica here :)
What do you like about DR?
@@OffshoreCitizenno this is Not the Dominica Video. i Made Friends on MySpace from d.r. and they were very friendly and warm , more than any other country. I recently noticed they have good Population growth and produce own food which is great on an Island. Crime rate is unfortunately there.
Grenada + Turkey is best visa free combination
Do you have a visa for any of them?
just question regards caribean program criminal record. is that always a problem?
Can you please share a link to Hungarian CIP video? Can’t find it on the channel.
if its just America and china i don't care , but what for Canada, Italy "EU" , Indonesia, Asia ... etc

Apps like koinly will take eg a Coinbase file with 1000 trades and work out the tax instantly
how about the syrians? is Nevis an option ?
Thanks again
Always a pleasure!
Which one would you choose?😄
What about for a U.S. citizen with a felony record from ten plus years ago...? Any Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Programs allow?
No this won't be allowed by any Caribbean nation
Fed hands felonies out like cookies .. they know it gives them more control
Which island would you say is the most livable? Also, can you do a video that covers the unofficial options?
Never mind, just saw you've already made a video covering that :)
Which one would you go for?
@@RedgeNumber1
Can you link the video, as I would also be interested in it.
@@OffshoreCitizen No idea but I think it could be an important factor as well if you plan to live there :)

Yes we can arrange via crypto for most of them please send a message through our website
Iranians can’t have St.Lucia either
Granada or Grenada? ;-)
Do they accept diplomats of other countries? That's a point you never mention haha
Can you get a mortgage on a property down there to get a passport?
Not unless your cash contribution is over the minimum
