Dan Merriam & Associates advises global families and investors on second citizenship, residency, Caribbean real estate and more — from offices across the Eastern Caribbean.

Two decades in real estate — on-the-ground knowledge and expertise.
I help global families, entrepreneurs, and investors keep wealth, secure second citizenship and residency, and find genuine lifestyle freedom in the Caribbean. With more than two decades in real estate and cross-border strategy, I help clients invest and live in this region with the detail that only comes from doing it here — I made the same move myself and hold my own second citizenship.

Markets Dan knows first-hand.
A passport is a decision about where your family's future is safe.
Five years ago this market was built on families from places with obvious reasons to leave. Today the calls come from families who never expected to need a second option — and none of them are approaching it casually. A Caribbean program can deliver mobility, tax efficiency and an asset you actually own.
- Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access of 155 destinations on a St. Kitts & Nevis passport, 154 on Antigua & Barbuda, 147 on Grenada, and 145 on Dominica and St. Lucia (Henley Passport Index, 2026)
- No local tax on worldwide income, capital gains or inheritance — though US citizens remain taxed by the United States on worldwide income regardless of a second citizenship
- Real-estate routes that can be resold after the hold period
- Citizenship that passes to future generations
Building wealth is one skill. Diversifying it across borders is another.
For families and family offices, the practice builds the structure around the purchase — the trust, the holding company, the banking, and the order those have to happen in.
Offshore Structures
Trusts, foundations and companies designed for protection and succession.
International Tax
Cross-border planning aligned to your citizenship and residency.
Banking & Family Office
Account opening at the banks that still take non-resident files, and someone on the ground when a wire stalls.
In their words.
