But they aren\u2019t for everybody\u2014namely, budget minded folks. In fact, Golden Visas are really geared towards high net-worth individuals and require, oftentimes significant, investments in government funds, infrastructure, business development or real estate in exchange for residency options. Golden Visa options vary in investment amounts, ranging from $100,000 to the millions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>These countries currently offer Golden Visas to expats:<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antigua and Barbuda<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18268\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18268\" style=\"width: 1640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18268 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/expatsi.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Antigua-and-Barbuda-woman-digital-nomad-jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18268\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Shutterstock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caribbean life is calling and surprisingly easy to obtain!
