The Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Program offers a unique opportunity to gain citizenship in a stunning Caribbean nation renowned for its crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches, vibrant culture, and business-friendly environment. Whether you're looking for greater global mobility, tax advantages, or a second passport for your family, this program is a gateway to expanded personal and financial freedom.

As a sovereign state within the Commonwealth, Antigua & Barbuda provides one of the most affordable and streamlined CBI pathways in the world. With no travel or residency requirements, applicants can apply entirely remotely. Citizenship can be obtained through either a government donation or an investment in approved real estate, making the process both flexible and accessible.

This program is ideal for high-net-worth individuals, families, and global entrepreneurs seeking to secure a second citizenship for travel freedom, lifestyle security, and strategic asset protection.

Antigua and Barbuda offers a highly attractive citizenship program with several key benefits. One of the most notable advantages is fast processing — applicants can obtain citizenship within 90 days and gain visa-free access to over 150 countries, including the UK, Schengen Area, and Singapore. The application is also highly inclusive, allowing the addition of children under 30, grandparents over 55, and physically or mentally handicapped dependents. Unmarried siblings may also be included.

There are no residency requirements, meaning applicants do not need to visit or live in Antigua and Barbuda to qualify. Additionally, the country imposes no taxes on worldwide income, making it a favorable choice for global investors. Flexible investment options are available, allowing applicants to choose between real estate purchases or making a donation. Furthermore, the process does not require an interview, managerial experience, or any specific educational background, making it accessible to a wide range of applicants.

To qualify for citizenship, applicants must meet a few key eligibility criteria. They must demonstrate a high personal net worth, provide a clean criminal record, and be in excellent health—verified through a medical examination. There are two main investment options available. The first is the Donation Route, which requires a minimum contribution of $150,000 to the National Development Fund (NDF). The second is the Real Estate Route, which involves a minimum investment of $200,000 in government-approved real estate, held for a minimum of five years. The typical processing time for applications is between 6 to 8 months.

The citizenship application process involves several key steps and typically takes about 6 to 8 months to complete. It begins with exploring your options and gathering the necessary documents. Once all documents are compiled, the application is submitted for processing and review. The host country then conducts its own review, after which an approval notification is issued. Following approval, the applicant transfers any remaining required payments. The next step is the issuance of the naturalization document, and finally, the applicant receives their second passport.
