Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a 32-island Eastern Caribbean nation combining the volcanic main island of Saint Vincent with the pristine Grenadines chain — home to world-class anchorages at Bequia, Mustique, and the Tobago Cays. The economy is driven by tourism, banana agriculture, and a growing yachting industry that attracts high-net-worth visitors year-round. As of 2026 the country has no formal citizenship-by-investment programme, though discussions about introducing one have circulated in policy circles. The Vincentian passport grants visa-free access to the UK, EU Schengen area, and roughly 152 destinations. Naturalisation requires seven years of lawful residence. Income tax applies to residents, and there is no wealth or inheritance tax. The 2021 La Soufrière volcanic eruption prompted significant rebuilding, and the government actively courts foreign investment in eco-tourism and marina development.
