What has made America an attractive place for business in the past? What will it look like in the future–post-BBA, with Trump at the helm? Mona sits down with Global Tax Expert David Lesperance to discuss all this and more!

In this episode, we delve into the recent developments in the Caribbean's Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs, focusing on St. Kitts and Nevis' groundbreaking reforms. Prime Minister Terrance Drew has announced the introduction of mandatory residency requirements and enhanced biometric verification systems for CBI applicants. These measures aim to strengthen the integrity and transparency of the program, aligning with international standards and addressing concerns that have led to potential travel bans under U.S. immigration policies.

The proposed reforms include a mandatory physical presence period for all CBI applicants, marking a significant shift from the previous model that did not require residency. Additionally, the implementation of advanced biometric verification, such as fingerprinting and facial recognition, is set to bolster security and due diligence processes.

Industry veteran Sam Bayat joins us to provide his expert analysis on these proposed changes. He discusses the potential impact of the residency requirements on the attractiveness of CBI programs in the Caribbean, considering factors like investor preferences and regional competitiveness. Bayat also explores how these reforms might influence the future landscape of economic citizenship in the region.

Tune in to gain a comprehensive understanding of the evolving CBI landscape in the Caribbean and the strategic responses of island nations to international pressures.

Under the Trump administration, green card holders have found themselves under increased scrutiny. Many were surprised to learn that their status did not guarantee seamless entry into the U.S. anymore. The administration's focus on ensuring that green card holders are genuinely residing in the U.S. has led to stricter enforcement of residency requirements.

In this episode, Mona and Rebecca discuss the perception of "abandonment”,  as the administration targets those using their green card as a multi-entry visas rather than establishing the U.S. as their primary residence. 

Mona and Rebecca discuss what documents to bring (and what form they should be in!), what one might be asked, and what exactly the current administration is looking for. They also delve into the advantages of the Re-Entry Permit. Whether you're entering for the first time or returning after a long stay abroad, Mona and Rebecca have answers!

Mona, Rebecca, and Mark sit down to talk about how to Navigate Travel to the U.S. Amid President Trump's Immigration Crackdown and share best practices on how what is working best right now.
