The West Wants to Kill Caribbean Citizenship, Here's What Happens Now

The European Commission has written to all five Caribbean citizenship by investment countries with a deadline: end your programs by June 1st 2028, or lose visa-free access to Schengen. This video covers what the letters actually say, why I would still get a Caribbean passport today rather than wait, and the four tiers of access to Europe if that matters to you: merit-based citizenship, naturalisation by living somewhere, a golden visa, or simply applying for a visa like everyone else. My own view is that a passport is not a travel document. It's a second identity, and a country that treats itself as sovereign is worth more than one that folds.
