In either case, you become a citizen of the country. As a citizen of a new country, you have all the rights that naturalized citizens have. The only exception is the right to hold government or elected office and participate in elections; however, you can also get these rights after living in the country for several years. An EU passport makes it possible to reside in any EU country for an unlimited amount of time, choose the country of tax residence and travel to hundreds of countries without visas (including the United States and Britain). A Caribbean passport also allows the holder to travel visa-free to hundreds of countries. Among the visa-free countries, Caribbean citizens can visit Schengen countries for up to 90 days in any six-month period and the UK for 6 months in a year. This passport also allows the holder to apply for a 10-year US visa, and Grenada passport holders can also apply for a long-term US business visa. In short, a Caribbean passport offers opportunities for the whole family to travel freely around the world, while a Malta passport allows you to choose your country of residence.
