How to Choose a CBI Authorised Agent: Licences and Scope of Service

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Fergus Wu, Co-founder & Chief Immigration Consultant

Summary

Caribbean CBI is generally filed only through government-authorised agents. Verify licence, fee transparency and compliance track record. Why private direct filing is not allowed and what to check.

Short answer: most Caribbean CBI must be filed through an authorised agent — individuals cannot bypass them. Verify the agent is on the official list, fees are itemised, and they coordinate due diligence and interviews.

What to check

  1. Official authorised list
  2. Fees split: government, agent, due diligence
  3. Strength on documents and source of funds
  4. Response speed on evidence requests

Points to note

  • “Guaranteed approval” claims are not credible
  • Contracts should define scope and refund terms

We file through government-authorised agents.
