Nigerians holding second citizenship from Caribbean countries with citizenship-by-investment (CBI) programs may be facing unexpected travel challenges. The United States has imposed partial travel restrictions on several nations, including Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica, both of which are popular among wealthy Nigerians seeking CBI without long-term residency requirements. Nigeria was also included in the updated list of affected countries, announced Tuesday.

The restrictions mean that dual citizens from these nations may now encounter additional hurdles when traveling to the U.S., complicating plans for business, education, or leisure. The move comes as part of broader U.S. efforts to enhance security and manage visa policies, though the timing has left many CBI investors concerned about the value and convenience of their Caribbean passports.

For Nigerians who had relied on Antigua, Barbuda, and Dominica for quick citizenship and travel benefits, the partial travel restrictions represent a significant disruption. Observers say the development could prompt reassessment of second-citizenship strategies and raise questions about the long-term attractiveness of certain CBI programs.
