Statement by the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS)<\/a> Commission on the Revocation of United States Visas for Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda and the Commonwealth of Dominica<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission expresses its full solidarity with the Governments and peoples of Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica following the decision by the Government of the United States of America to revoke visa access<\/a> for certain categories of their citizens.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The OECS acknowledges, with respect, the sovereign right of all states to determine and enforce their immigration <\/a>and border security policies in accordance with their national laws and security assessments. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the Commission believes it is important that such measures be considered within the context of the historically close, cooperative, and mutually beneficial relationship between the Caribbean and the United States \u2013 a relationship grounded in shared democratic values, people-to-people ties, and long-standing economic, cultural, and security cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For decades, Caribbean nationals \u2013 including those from Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica \u2013 \u200b have formed an integral part of the social and economic fabric of the United States. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Caribbean diaspora has consistently demonstrated itself to be law-abiding, productive, and civically engaged, contributing meaningfully across critical sectors such as healthcare, education, construction, entrepreneurship, the creative industries, and public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These contributions have strengthened local communities and reinforced the enduring bonds between our societies.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The OECS further underscores the depth of economic interdependence between the United States and the Eastern Caribbean. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The United States remains a principal trading partner, investor, tourism source market, and development partner for OECS Member States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These ties are reinforced through continuous diplomatic engagement, private-sector collaboration, and structured dialogue on matters of shared concern, including financial integrity, border security, and transnational risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With specific regard to Citizenship by Investment Programmes (CIPs), the OECS notes that its Member States have been actively and constructively engaged in ongoing dialogue with relevant agencies of the United States Government and other international partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These engagements have been frank, technical, and solutions-oriented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importantly, OECS Member States have made demonstrable progress in strengthening due-diligence systems, enhancing information-sharing, tightening eligibility standards, and \u2013 most significantly \u2013 advancing the establishment of a regional, independent regulatory authority to ensure consistent oversight, transparency, and compliance with international best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For small island developing states in the Caribbean, CIPs represent one of a very limited set of lawful, non-debt-creating policy instruments available to finance resilience-building, disaster adaptation\/recovery, and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These programmes have been deployed responsibly to support critical public investments in infrastructure, education, health systems, renewable energy, and social resilience \u2013 areas that directly enhance regional and hemispheric stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, the OECS respectfully urges that consideration be given to the unique vulnerabilities, constrained fiscal space, and limited economic diversification options available to small states in the Western Hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A collaborative, consultative approach \u2013 grounded in dialogue, proportionality, and shared responsibility \u2013 offers the most effective pathway to addressing legitimate concerns while preserving long-standing partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OECS Commission reaffirms its commitment to continued engagement with the Government of the United States, including under the current Administration, in a spirit of mutual respect, transparency, and cooperation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We remain confident that through sustained dialogue and evidence-based collaboration, solutions can be advanced that uphold security objectives while recognizing the developmental realities of small, open economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OECS stands firmly with Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica and reiterates its collective resolve to work with all partners to ensure that the Eastern Caribbean remains a region defined by good governance, international cooperation, and constructive engagement within the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
