As the EU demands a 2028 phase-out of Caribbean programs and courts topple Malta’s golden passport scheme, we explore the high-stakes battle over investment migration, economic sovereignty, and the shifting price of global mobility.
This episode explores the seismic regulatory shifts currently redefining the global investment migration landscape. The European Union has issued a formal demand to five Eastern Caribbean nations to phase out their citizenship-by-investment (CBI) programs by June 1, 2028, or risk losing their prized visa-free Schengen access. We unpack the region’s coordinated response — including a high-level diplomatic mission to Brussels — and analyze the domestic legislative overhauls underway, such as Antigua and Barbuda’s proposed 30-day residency requirement and Saint Kitts and Nevis’s physical presence reforms.
