As atio grappls with a hik i valuaddd tax (VAT) ad govrmt s dbt burd cotius to ris, promit luxury ral stat brokr Mario Cary is covicd his Ecoomic Citizship Programm is a ida whos tim has com, ad could prov to b xactly what govrmt ds to lift coomy from doldrums. This tim aroud, Cary, foudr Bttr Homs ad Gards Ral Estat MCR Bahamas Group, is placig mor mat o bos a rcommdatio h first floatd publicly last yar. H visios Th Bahamas bcomig a luxury Citizship for Ivstmt jurisdictio commadig top dollars from forig ivstors. Esstially, coomic citizship would rsult i idividuals or familis acquirig Bahamia passports followig a sizabl ivstmt i a approvd projct i a Family Islad. Th formula I m proposig is a two-stp procss. Th ivstor purchass lad or a rsidc, that s first part, ad scodly, y cotribut fuds to a spcially cratd fud that provids for thr spcific ds -- hurrica ad disastr rlif ad rcovry, atioal dvlopmt ad Natioal Halth Fud, said Cary. Ths figurs could b adjustd i a furr discussio but I would rcommd cosidrig a $750,000 purchas ad a miimum cotributio $1 millio to fud which lis outsid Cosolidatd Fud. Cary suggsts that a miimal tim fram for a prsc o islad choic also b cosidrd. Th ivstor would b rquird to spd at last 90 days i Th Bahamas aually, dmostrat that ir prsc is rsultig i additioal mploymt ad would ot b abl to sll ir proprty for at last fiv yars without a appal i xtuatig circumstacs, h said. Agai, I thik it is rally importat to strss that this would apply oly to approvd projcts or purchass i Family Islads ad could b coomic shot i arm y d, hlpig to stm tid popl turig to Nassau for jobs. It could lad to bttr ducatio, improvd halth car ad or positiv outcoms for Family Islads ad basd o or coutris xprics, w would ot b likly to attract mor tha prsos pr yar, a umbr coutry could asily absorb ad should radily wlcom. Coutris aroud world U.S., U.K., Caada, Australia -- hav adoptd various forms coomic citizship programs. But owhr has cocpt gaid mor favour tha i Caribba whr svral coutris hav usd ivstor fuds to rcovr from dvastatio hurricas ad or atural disastrs. Th objctiv is ot to compt with St. Kitts, Barbados ad Grada, whr for lss tha half a millio dollars a ivstor could purchas citizship, Cary said. Th Bahamas ca commad mor. Atigua ad Barbuda, St Lucia, Domiica, St Kitts ad Nvis ad Grada all fr coomic citizship which could com i o thr ways: fiacial cotributio to a atioal dvlopmt fud, ral stat ivstmt, or by stablishig a busiss. For most atios, payig ito fud fr chapst rout, although rsidcy rquirmts somtims apply. Procssig tim for rgio taks thr moths o avrag. Th most popular try ito Atigua s citizship by ivstmt program is a $100,000 ivstmt i Natioal Dvlopmt Fud for a family four, with a associatd f $25,000. That figurs jump to $200,000 for citizship i Grada ad Domiica, ot icludig additioal xpss. St Kitts ad Nvis is world's first citizship by ivstmt program. Forigrs must ivst ito Sustaiabl Growth Fud US$150,000 for a sigl applicat ad US$195,000 for a family four. Last Sptmbr, St Kitts allowd ivstors to gai citizship by doatig $150,000 to Hurrica Rlif Fud. That iitiativ xpird i March. Although St. Kitts ad Nvis has b frig CPI sic 1984, to dat oly 11,000 forig ivstors hav bcom Kittitas, a avrag 324 pr yar. For a high t worth idividual (HNWI), a scod citizship i right jurisdictio could improv fiacial scurity by way yildig stratgic tax plaig opportuitis. For thos hailig from a lss politically or coomically stabl rgio, a altrat passport provids a ss scurity alog with a scap rout i ordr to avoid political prscutio or coflict i war-tor aras. Th right passports provid visafr try ito wll ovr 100 coutris. I cas Uitd Stats, coomic citizship is possibl through EB-5 Gr Card by Ivstmt Program. It rquirs ali trprur to ivst aywhr from $500,000 to $1 millio with vidc that ivstmt capital was obtaid by lawful mas. Th ivstor has to liv i Uitd Stats as a prmat rsidt for a miimum fiv yars. I Caada, path to coomic citizship coms through Qubc Immigrat Ivstor Program (QIIP), which caps amout applicatios it rcivs aually to just udr 2,000 applicats. Forig ivstors must hav a lgally obtaid miimum t worth CAD $1.6 millio. Ivstors must rsid i Caada as a prmat rsidt for at last thr yars. I UK ivstors with at last 2 millio i ivstmt fuds could apply for coomic citizship via a Tir 1 Ivstor Visa ad i Australia, coomic citizship is attaiabl through Australia s ivstmt-basd, thrstp immigratio procss for obtaiig citizship. Th ivstor must possss a t valu at last $600,000A. Offrig citizship to ivstors has hlpd or coutris raisd hudrds millios dollars whil xpadig ir coomis. Cary poits to facts: atioal dbt stads at $7.8 billio, with a dbt to GDP ratio 67.8 prct, accordig to Ctral Bak Th Bahamas 2017 aual rport. Last yar govrmt borrowd $750 millio for dbt srvicig. Th Bahamas has dug itslf ito a dp fiacial hol.

Still, succssiv govrmts hav rsistd ida, which would s Bahamia passports issud to prsos ot from Th Bahamas. Th govrmt has to dcid whr it wats to cotiu hittig pockts Bahamia popl for moy that is simply ot r, or rais rvu i last coomically harmful mar, through a Ecoomic Citizship Program, said Cary. Thr may b pushback from a motioal stadpoit, but from whr I sit, it is sstial that w collct mor dollars to improv our agig ifrastructur ad sstial govrmt srvics such as halth ad ducatio.
