Why it keeps changing
The UK has reintroduced visa requirements for several countries in recent years over concerns about some CBI schemes. Visa-free access isn’t permanent, so weigh policy stability when choosing a passport.
If UK access matters
- Prioritise Antigua, Grenada and St Kitts.
- All three are also visa-free to the Schengen Area — good for families often in Europe.
- To live in the UK long term, a CBI passport isn’t enough; other routes are needed.
