Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship

The Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment program is one of the newest in the Caribbean. It was launched in 2013.

Cosmopolitans can get a passport by investments of at least $100,000. There are four options: contributions to a state or university fund, real estate purchase or business investments.

Family members can obtain citizenship with the investor. The program allows the main applicant’s spouse, children, parents and siblings to participate.

The property purchased to participate in the citizenship program can be sold five years later to return the money. The investor can also earn rental income during ownership.
