Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment
Antigua and Barbuda, nestled in the Eastern Caribbean, is famed for its idyllic islands, turquoise waters, and powdery white beaches. Its captivating natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and growing economy make it an attractive destination for tourists and global investors. Since 2013, the nation has offered a Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP), enabling foreign nationals to acquire citizenship through strategic investments that support national development.
Overview of the Citizenship by Investment Program
The Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program allows investors to gain citizenship by either purchasing government-approved real estate or contributing financially to the National Development Fund (NDF). Upon approval, applicants and eligible family members are granted citizenship, giving them access to visa-free travel to over 165 countries.
How the Program Works
Following the investment, a thorough due diligence check is conducted to verify the applicant’s background. If cleared, the citizenship process generally takes around 8 to 10 months. With no residency requirement beyond a short visit, successful applicants enjoy enhanced global mobility and a favorable financial environment.
Investment Options
To qualify for citizenship, applicants must choose from the following options:
1 – Real Estate Investment
- Invest a minimum of USD $400,000 in a government-approved real estate project (held for at least 5 years).
- Limited-time offer: Joint investments of $200,000 per party are available.
2 – National Development Fund (NDF) Contribution
- A non-refundable contribution of $230,000 to the NDF (supports infrastructure and public service initiatives), covering a family of four.
3 – Physical Residency Requirement
- To retain citizenship, a visit of at least 5 days to Antigua & Barbuda is required within five years.
4 – Physical Residency Requirement
