The Bahamas government says it has agreed in principle to increase the threshold of the Bahamas Investor Residence Visa<\/a> from BS$500,000 to BS$750,000.<\/p>\n There are also plans to reintroduce a fast-track option, where candidates making real estate investments of BS$1.5 million or more would get their residency processed in 21 days.<\/p>\n No indication has been given of when the changes might happen. The government has been talking about raising the threshold for some time, with an increase to BS$1 million mooted in May 2017.<\/p>\n However, realtors have spoken out against such broad stroke changes, saying the threshold would benefit from being adjusted depending on the area the real estate investment is made.<\/p>\n Areas including Grand Bahama are struggling economically, and finding it difficult to attract much-needed investment.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the sought-after New Providence region is thriving.<\/p>\n
