Why Caribbean passports are losing their shine

The era of citizenship-by-donation is fading fast. Here's what to consider instead — solid investments in Paraguay and beyond.

Caribbean passports are losing relevance fast

We live in an unstable world. Any country can change its rules overnight. One passport is a risk, two is better, and three is smart diversification.

Citizenship-by-donation is becoming history

The era of "cacao funds" is winding down:

— Banks won't open accounts for holders of these passports

— The EU is tightening visa issuance

— Programs with no real investment behind them keep losing credibility

The alternative — real investment

The better route is putting money into a business or property in a country with a functioning economy. Take Paraguay:

— Visa-free access to Schengen

— 0% tax on foreign income

— Straightforward citizenship for genuine investors

— No headaches with EU and US banks
