Founded in 2013, the Citizenship by Investment Program for Antigua and Barbuda promotes the implementation of public works with the aid of foreign investors.
Citizenship by investment in Antigua and Barbuda takes as little as 4 to 6 months to be all set for these foreign investors to start enjoying the benefits of their Antigua and Barbuda citizenship and a second passport with visa-free access to over 150 destinations. This Citizenship program is managed by the Citizenship by Investment Unit established by the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, and it’s one of the most successful citizenship programs in the Caribbean.
The Citizenship by Investment Program for Antigua and Barbuda connects high-net-worth investors with government-approved projects in need of funds.
In compensation for their contribution to the nation’s infrastructure development, this Program awards investors with the Antigua and Barbuda citizenship and passport.
This provides entrepreneurs with easier access to Caribbean markets and reduced entry requirements in the United States of America and Canada, as well as visa-free access to other top destinations worldwide.

Buy a US $400,000 worth real estate under the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program to qualify to Antigua and Barbuda citizenship. You can either do this on your own or share a US $200,000 investment with another investor.
In any case, the real estate will be banned from resale for 5 years after the purchase. However, in the meanwhile, you can make profit of it as most properties are lucrative options, like hotels, resorts, villas, and commercial parks.
Apart from the cost of the property, you must cover the processing fees, which cost US $30,000 for a four-member family and US $15,000 for each additional dependent.
