BASSETERRE, St Kitts — A resort developer based in St Kitts but owned and operated by Chinese interests has declined to remove false and/or misleading information about Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) citizenship and residency from its website.
Despite the erroneous nature of the published information being drawn to the attention of attorneys for Caribbean Galaxy Real Estate (CGRE), instead of removing or correcting it, a simple disclaimer has been added.
According to the CGRE website, “Turks and Caicos Islands is one of the 14 overseas territories of the United Kingdom. Citizens on the island are free to enter and leave the UK to work and study with their passports.”
The assertion that TCI citizens as holders of British Overseas Territories Citizenship (BOTC) are free to live, work and study in the UK is simply not true.
