Applicants can include a spouse, dependent children under 31 (as well as their spouse and children), parents and grandparents aged 55 and over, and unmarried siblings of the main applicant and/or their spouse of any age, as well as to add dependents after they have been granted citizenship.
Antigua and Barbuda is a member of the Commonwealth, entitling citizens to certain privileges in the UK and other member states.
A nation is an attractive place to live or to own a second home in, with excellent air links to North America and Europe.
Requirements of Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment:
To qualify for citizenship, the main applicant must be over 18 years of age, meet the application requirements, and select one of the following four options available:
The purchase of real estate with a specific amount fixed by the authority from an approved real estate project. Two applicants can make a joint investment with each applicant investing a specific amount to qualify. The real estate cannot be disposed of within five years.
The direct purchase of an eligible business for a minimum amount of USD 1.5 million as an individual. Alternatively, a joint purchase where each person contributes at least USD 400,000, totalling a minimum of USD 5 million.
A contribution to the National Development Fund of a minimum non-refundable amount of USD 100,000.
Procedures and time frame of the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program:
The government authority responsible for administering the program, the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU), is responsible for the processing of all applications. The CIU examines the application thoroughly and, if deemed necessary, may request the applicant to attend an interview.
The CIU undertakes strict due diligence checks and will decline an application if the applicant makes a false statement or omits any relevant information in the application.
The documentary requirements of the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program are reasonable, and the procedures are straightforward. Once the application is approved, passports can be collected in Antigua and Barbuda. It is estimated that the process will take between three and four months from the submission of the application to the issuance of the passport (maybe more), assuming there are no areas of concern with the application.
There is a requirement to reside in Antigua and Barbuda for a minimum of five days during the first five years of obtaining citizenship.
Under the real estate option, the time frame may vary depending on the project. Therefore, it is important to select a real estate project that can provide the necessary paperwork required from the developer for the citizenship application.
