Who can buy in the Caribbean

The Caribbean comprises over 700 islands, divided into 30 territories, and the process of buying a home varies between the islands. Despite variations in the process, most islands require prospective buyers to register with a central bank.

Some islands will offer residency in return for investing in property, known as the ‘golden visa’. English-speaking islands, such as Antigua, Barbados, and St. Lucia, follow a British-based buying system, whereas French Caribbean territories, such as St. Barts, St. Martin, and Martinique, follow a French buying process.

Taxes and costs in the Caribbean

Many islands peg their currency to the US dollar, making it easier for buyers to calculate purchase costs.
When purchasing a property in the Caribbean, taxes tend to be low but vary by island.
On some islands, business licenses may be required if owners lease their properties, and stamp duty may be payable on the annual rent.
Fees vary between islands, and real estate agent fees can be set by a professional body, which may result in higher costs than international buyers are used to.
