Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment

The Citizenship by Investment Program of Antigua and Barbuda provides a strategic pathway for affluent families looking to gain access to key Caribbean and European markets. Additionally, it offers visa-free entry to major Asian financial hubs. This program attracts applicants who wish to obtain alternative citizenship either by investing in high-value real estate or by making a contribution to the National Development Fund, supporting the growth and development of the islands.

The program allows applicants to include a wide range of dependents, such as a spouse, children under 31 (along with their spouse and children), parents and grandparents aged 55 or older, and unmarried siblings of any age from both the main applicant’s and spouse’s side.
