Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Programme is an ideal combination of price, timing, simplicity and possibility to apply together with your whole family, including grown children and parents.
An investor and his family members are given an opportunity to become citizens in exchange of economic investment: to purchase an approved real estate, to invest in an approved business, or to make a government donation to National Development Fund (NDF). Before receiving governmental approval, eventual citizenship and passports, all candidates must meet the requirements of the program and pass the due diligence.

The passport will be valid for a period of 5 years and will be considered for renewal subject to the recipient having spent a total of 5 days in Antigua and Barbuda, since gaining citizenship, within the 5 year period. The passport does not afford automatic voting rights and persons would need to qualify as outlined in the Representation of the People Act. The passport will afford the holder visa free travel to 160 countries that includes Hong Kong, Singapore, U.K. and the Schengen Area. Click here to view list
