Short answer: a common mix is Greece or Portugal residence plus a Dominican, Antiguan or Grenadian passport: the first supports living or short stays in Europe; the second provides a second passport and wider visa-free access. Total budget is often in the USD 500,000–1,000,000 range depending on choices.
Example combinations
| European residence | Caribbean passport | Rough investment direction |
|---|---|---|
| Greece Golden Visa from EUR 250,000 | Dominica from USD 200,000 | Relatively lower |
| Greece Golden Visa | Antigua / Grenada | Adds UK visa-free |
| Portugal fund EUR 500,000 | Dominica or Grenada | Higher, more PR/citizenship-oriented |
Benefits of combining
- Where you live: European residence allows long-term stay in that country.
- Travel: the passport adds visa-free coverage; residence supports movement within Schengen.
- Back-up: two statuses diversify policy risk.
Points to note
- Each programme’s stay and holding rules must be met (e.g. Portugal’s 7 days in year one, property/fund holding periods).
- Total cost includes both sides’ government, legal and due diligence fees.
- Tax residence follows where you actually live, not the passport or residence alone.
- Staging helps: finish the more time-sensitive one first, then start the other.
