Who is it for?

  • Those seeking accelerated residence in the Caribbean with USD 200,000 in real estate.
  • Those seeking residence without a large investment (via USD 2,000 monthly rentista).
  • Those targeting one of the region's shortest citizenship eligibility periods.
  • Families wanting a low-cost base close to the US.

Real Estate or Rentista?

There are two main routes: real estate investment from USD 200,000 (accelerated processing for investors), or application through stable foreign income of approximately USD 2,000 per month (rentista). The rentista route does not require a large investment; the real estate route offers faster processing and property ownership.

Accelerated Citizenship

Residence is valid for one year and renewable; transition to permanent residence generally occurs after five years. Investor status can allow for one of the shortest citizenship eligibility periods in the region. Since timelines change according to regulations, we confirm the current status before application.
