Notes from the research

Set up by the Citizenship by Investment Act 2013 (gazetted 11 Apr 2013; launched is this publication date, because the Act comes into force on a date appointed by Ministerial Order, and that Order is not stored); run by the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU). Routes: National Development Fund donation, real estate, business investment, and (from 2018) University of the West Indies Fund. 5,203 applications from inception to 30 Jun 2024.
