Citizenship by Investment Program
ABOUT ANTIGUA & BARBUDA
Antigua & Barbuda is a country situated in Central America, in the Caribbean. The country was colonized by English settlers in the 1600’s and eventually obtained independence in 1981, since then it has been part of the Commonwealth nations. Today, with the country’s booming offshore finance industry, Antigua has become one of the Caribbean’s most prosperous nations. Its world-famous azure beaches, beautiful geological sites and abundant wildlife, have contributed to its booming tourism industry.
Hoping to introduce more investments and funds from overseas, the Antigua government officially introduced the “Citizenship by Investment Act 2013 & Citizenship by Investment Regulations 2013” in 2013. According to Act 6 in the Regulations, overseas investors are eligible to apply for citizenship through the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) upon fulfilling criteria set out in the Regulations, including making a significant economic contribution to the Country and going through thorough background checks. Successful applicants will be granted a citizenship, where Antigua passport holders can enjoy visa -free travel to over 150 countries, including UK and EU – realizing global mobility.
