Risks, limitations, and uncertainty

Notes on changes, conflicts, and limits.

Present
Investment note (Sept 2026)Published
The competitor figure of US$280,000 matches the XCG 500,000 tier. Plain bank deposits do not qualify. The Caribbean guilder (XCG) replaced the Netherlands Antillean guilder (ANG) in 2025 at the same 1.79 peg
Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published
Residence only: no right to work without a separate work permit. The XCG 1.5 million tier gives an indefinite permit at once; Dutch naturalization needs about 5 years of actual residence plus an integration exam
