Visa-free UK access.
The investment-migration passports recognised by the UK without prior visa application.
Best for visa-free
UK visa-free reach is one of the most-asked questions in CBI advisory. The Caribbean five (St. Kitts, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia) historically all enjoyed UK visa-free access — though St. Lucia and Dominica positions have been adjusted in recent years and the picture changes. Maltese passports give full EU + UK access. Portuguese passports (post-Golden-Visa naturalisation) give EU + UK access. The list below ranks operative programmes by the strength of their UK access as of the 2026 update; verify current bilateral status at filing.

No. UK visa-free access is a bilateral matter that the UK can adjust. Several Caribbean programmes have seen status changes in recent years. Treat current status as accurate-at-filing, not permanent.
Malta is an EU member state — the EU-UK relationship governs access for all EU passports under standard treaty terms.
St. Kitts and Antigua retain visa-free or visa-on-arrival access at the time of writing. Dominica and St. Lucia have seen tightening; verify current bilateral status before relying on access.
No — UK suspended Vanuatu visa-free access in 2023 over diligence concerns.
