Recently, Professional Wealth Management (PWM), a publication of the Financial Times, released the 2019 Citizenship by Investment Index. Now in its third consecutive year, this ranking serves as an essential reference guide for global investors looking to secure overseas citizenship. This year's report provides a professional assessment and comparison of 13 popular citizenship-by-investment programs worldwide, based on seven 'pillars' that influence investor decision-making. Overall, driven by industry trends toward increased transparency, improved application processes, and enhanced security, Caribbean nations continued their success in 2019, delivering outstanding performances and occupying the top six spots.
Among them, Dominica achieved perfect scores in five indicators: investment requirements, mandatory travel or residence requirements, processing time, processing efficiency, and due diligence, making it the definitive 'best citizenship-by-investment country.' Furthermore, Dominica broke records by achieving the highest score since the report's inception: 91%, rightfully earning its place as a premier global citizenship-by-investment program. It is particularly worth noting that experts from the Financial Times highlighted Dominica as a leader in the industry regarding program integrity and the effective utilization of program proceeds to benefit its citizens.
Among the seven 'pillars' used to measure citizenship-by-investment programs, St. Kitts and Nevis achieved perfect scores in three: due diligence, processing time, and mandatory travel or residence requirements. Additionally, the St. Kitts and Nevis program scored 9 out of 10 in the investment requirements and processing efficiency pillars. Notably, the total score for St. Kitts and Nevis increased by four points, solidifying its position as one of the world's outstanding citizenship-by-investment programs.
Meanwhile, Grenada has placed greater emphasis on program due diligence and achieved high scores for its accelerated processing speeds, ranking third. St. Lucia saw improvements in scores for freedom of movement, processing time, and due diligence, rising to fourth place in this year's rankings. Antigua and Barbuda, and Vanuatu ranked fifth and sixth, respectively.

Having a second passport will give you a second chance at survival.'
