KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, CMC – The St. Vincent and the Grenadines government says it will not permit the sale of passports as an inducement to get foreigners to invest in the country.
Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves told Parliament on Friday that his administration would no longer engage in the practice and would resist any attempts to do so.
A number of Eastern Caribbean countries had embarked on the citizenship scheme as a means of luring foreign investment to their countries.
Hi I’m an Vincentian and I want to say that I am glad to have Dr.G as my PM but my family on my father’s and mother’s side really hate well don’t talk about my aunt that is in town I think they hate cause they know he’s doing a great job and they want him (PM)to look as if he is that bad I’m 11 years of age I’m going to be 12 on the 11th June 2011.I’m writing this to say don’t be mad at who is incharge of your country because that person could be working so hard to keep theor country alive and talking bad about that person,you never kno how that person might feel they might fell
or even 
you never kno how you can make someone feeel so don’t hurt them plzzzzzzzzz.Yes everyone has feelings and sometimes those feelings can lead to death you never kno just like stres
s
Plzzzzzzzzzzzz love the person who is incharge of you country cause you never know probably that would be the person incharge you will ever get and most of all God loves a loving heart so keep on loving
Thank you
I mean really hate him
When you think about it, the concept is flawed. Why would a serious investor want citizenship of a third world country? Let’s take DIGICEL, LIME, KUBULI for example, no request for citizenship there. Good for SVG they have a PM who can think.
thank you very much
we are very lucky you know
That the kind of leader i love . Way to go svg. I wish my pm in { Dominica} would take the same stand on the matter. Invest first , citizenship after five years. Naturalization after three – five years based on your nose being kept clean.
SVg is a model country in 2010. should we follow suit? D/ca watch your language and your trend!
secure what you have before to reach for more…
doesnt take a phd to see how stupid of an idea that was. I wouldnt mind awarding a path to citizenship for foreign investors after 10yrs or so of continued business inside the country.. but oh well
