Die Amerikaner suchen 130.000 US -Dollar in der Karibik in der Karibik inmitten politischer, wirtschaftlicher Ängste

> With simmering political tensions and persistent economic uncertainty, many Americans are quietly buying their way out, specifically to the Caribbean.

> Five tropical island nations in the region offer so-called “golden passports” or Citizenship-by-Investment (CBI) programs, and these have seen a recent surge in demand from U.S. clients. CBI programs offer a legal pathway for global investors to acquire a second passport in exchange for an economic contribution to the host country.

> The contribution can be as low as **$130,000 in some tropical destinations**, but **up to $230,000 plus** in others, usually in the form of a donation **or a qualifying real estate investment**.

> “It’s incredible — 99% of my buyers are from the U.S.A., and multiple inquiries are coming in daily looking for that citizenship program,” Nadia Dyson, founder of Luxury Locations Real Estate in Antigua, told NBC

> British immigration consulting agency Henley & Partners has observed a similar uptick. **Inquiries about golden passports from the U.S. jumped 182% year over year in the first quarter of 2025.**

> The ongoing boom is one of many signals that Americans are growing increasingly uneasy about the nation’s political and economic future. But the trend raises an important question: is a second passport really a smart hedge or an expensive mistake?

> For many applicants, dual citizenship offers tax, legal, and travel-related benefits **that justify the six-figure cost**. But for some — especially U.S. citizens — the primary benefit is what Global X describes as “**geopolitical insurance**.”

> “A second passport provides what wealth advisors often call a ‚Plan B‘: an escape route to a stable country if conditions deteriorate at home, and a practical way to hedge against sovereign risk,” says the Swiss consulting firm.

Wonder when trump is going to try and claim the Caribbean’s like he did with Greenland.
