Own a Caribbean passport or planning to get one? EU just changed the visa-free rules, and your Schengen access could be affected. Here’s how to stay protected and get the mobility and benefits you are looking for.

The European Parliament has officially voted to overhaul visa-free travel laws, and for the first time ever, citizenship-by-investment (CBI) programs are explicitly named as a suspension ground.

✅ Who’s affected? Holders of Grenada, Antigua, St. Lucia, Dominica, and St. Kitts & Nevis passports.
✅ What changed? The EU can now suspend or revoke Schengen access partially or fully — just like they did with Vanuatu.
✅ When? The law takes effect 20 days after EU Council approval and publication in the Official Journal.

Temporary suspensions can last 12–36 months, after which a full visa reimposition may follow. The trigger? A 30% rise in overstays/refusals, or asylum approval rates under 20%.

💡 What smart investors are doing:
Instead of relying solely on Schengen access, they’re pairing CBI passports with EU residencies (e.g. Italy, Malta, Greece, or Poland), or shifting to Nauru’s neutral, tax-free CBI program (under $165K for a family).

👑 INGWE helps investors diversify safely, processing CBI and EU residency solutions across 20+ countries.
