Antigua & Barbuda, situated in the Eastern Caribbean, is a paradise of tropical islands, crystal clear waters, and sandy beaches. This nation has always been renowned for its beauty, culture, and diverse economy, drawing in tourists and investors from all over the world. In 2013, Antigua & Barbuda introduced its Citizenship-by-Investment Program (CIP) to attract foreign investment in the nation’s economy.

The program is designed to offer a second passport to individuals and their families who invest in the country’s economy. The citizenship by investment requires an applicant to make an investment in the country either through a real estate purchase or a donation to the National Development Fund (NDF). The applicant must go through a due diligence process, which includes a background check, to ensure that they do not have a criminal record.

Once an applicant makes a successful application, and their investment is approved, they are granted citizenship, which allows them to have access to travel visa-free to over 165 countries, including the European Union, The United Kingdom, Singapore, and Hong Kong, among other countries. Citizenship acquired through CIP in Antigua allows an individual to reside in major financial and business centers.

Antigua and Barbuda has a tax-friendly regime that doesn’t tax income or wealth earned outside of the country, making it a tax haven. The path to citizenship is also uncomplicated and fast, taking about two to four months to complete, allowing the investor to obtain dual citizenship quickly.

The CIP program has contributed to the country’s economic growth, promoting employment and offering greater opportunities to the citizens. The fund generated from the NDF is used for the country’s infrastructure and other development needs, which has resulted in a thriving economy.
