The Caribbean countries with golden visa programs are Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Lucia.

The EB-5 visa program was created in 1990 by the Immigration Act of 1990. The program allows foreign investors to become permanent residents of the United States by investing in U.S. businesses.
