This was fair and balance.

Thanks

So has anyone ever explained to you the way a very bright background results in you looking like you're in a very dark shadow? Your viewers are just as interested in seeing you as they are the lovely background behind you. Take the time to find out how to adjust your camera to correct this shortcoming - because it IS correctable. Good luck.

Well done Jennifer 🎯

Great review of pros and cons; sorry about flat tire.

Thank you for this very informative video. I noticed that you made this in February and outlined that it had rained a lot. I want to visit Antigua as a one-off luxury holiday. When would it be best to visit for the least possible rain please?

Hi Jennifer, I am seriously considering buying the Antiguan Passport, do you think there is any political risk? Do they honor passing citizenship to 2 generations? Thanks

Could you provide an in-depth analysis of healthcare in the Caribbean? I'm interested in understanding the typical costs associated with health insurance plans that include coverage for evacuation and treatment abroad.

i’m personally considering moving here one day, doing the investment program. It sounds really amazing! I genuinely love the ocean and I think it would be amazing to live here one day once I save up enough!

Can you do a video on the Real Estate Market in each CBI country?
-
Were the people on Antigua pressured to get vaccinated for covid? I'm curious because we were constantly pressured and shamed here in the states and I still refused.

How difficult is life in St. John's foe locals and expats during the cruise ship season with all their crowds? Restaurants,, shopping, noise, traffic, etc. on those narrow streets and sidewalks?
-
Thanks, questions: 1. Does you need to spend 5 days only at first 5 years? If you renew - no need to spend another 5 days? 2. Does future children inherit citizenship free of charge? 3. If only 1 parent apply - does the child 2 years old comes free of charge?
-
How is the healthcare?
-
Do you need to be a citizen or a permanent resident to benefit from birthright citizenship? Also, if you are not a tax resident there are there any taxes for non resident citizens that we should be aware of?
