According to the source, from January 1, 2026, access to entry into the United States or to certain visa categories will be restricted for citizens of 38 countries, depending on the country. This may affect relocation timelines and eligibility, particularly for applicants relying on Caribbean passports obtained through investment-citizenship programs. The measure primarily affects citizens of the listed countries and investors using second citizenship for international mobility. Anyone planning a move to the United States through such a passport should account for the effective date and the scheduled reviews every 180 days.
