I do wonder what the point of this is? It says visa free visits to parts of Europe. How long can those visits be? You couldn't easily relocate anywhere outside the islands on a permanent basis?

    The article isn't helpful for most of the target audience.

    Citizens of the Carribbean nations in the article can currently enjoy up to 180 days in the EU visa-free. The same exact visa-free window as citizens of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand are granted.

    Citizenship to one of these Carribbean island nations can certainly help you leave North America, but it doesn't help you get any more access to the EU than you currently have. It just helps you move to...the Carribbean.

    Can you do 180 days as a US-ian, and another 180 days as a Caribbean-ian?

    Hey...wait a sec now.

    Arrive in EU, go through customs with US passport, 180 days later go to the airport, walk straight to customs and go through with your Carribbean passport. Rinse and repeat every 180 days? Hmmm...

    It's easier to move to italy spain or portugal. a lot of small towns there are becoming ghost towns and they have incentive programs for that. Why move to hurricane land to have an EU visa if you can mode to the EU

    Definitely an edge case, but my wife is a legal permanent resident and from the tiny bit of “just out of curiosity” research I’ve done, it seems like she would be eligible for and able to benefit from the expanded travel opportunities these programs offer.
