Frequent questions
Why do many sites still say $750,000?
That figure was current before 1 January 2025 — from that date the official threshold rose to $1,000,000, but the old figure continues to appear on unupdated aggregators.
What does investing $1,500,000 rather than just $1,000,000 get you?
Per the available data, a property valued at $1,500,000+ is usually reviewed on an accelerated basis, often without a personal interview — the base $1,000,000 threshold does not offer that advantage.
What happens if the property is sold before 10 years?
Per the available data, the Immigration Board may revoke resident status upon early sale — certificate holders must hold the investment for at least 10 years.
Do you have to personally live in the property?
Per the available data, the law itself doesn’t explicitly clarify whether physical ownership of the property must be maintained after the certificate is approved — this remains ambiguous even among specialised law firms.
Why is there no direct link to the official bahamas.gov.bs portal?
A direct fetch of the official portal failed — the server returned a 403 error as of the checked date. This page’s source is Fragomen, a law firm specialising in immigration law.
Does this programme grant Bahamian citizenship?
No — this page covers a permanent residence certificate, not citizenship or a separately described path to it.
