Programme Overview

Antigua & Barbuda's Citizenship by Investment Programme offers Caribbean citizenship through donation, real estate, or business investment. Fast processing with no residency requirements.

Antigua and Barbuda's Citizenship by Investment programme, established in 2013, offers exceptional value for families seeking Caribbean citizenship. With a unique family-friendly pricing structure that caps costs for larger families, Antigua becomes increasingly attractive as family size grows. The National Development Fund donation starts at $230,000 for a family of up to 4—making it more competitive than alternatives when including spouse and children. Antigua's 365 beaches, stable democracy, and English-speaking environment create an appealing lifestyle destination.

Antigua also offers the unique option of University of the West Indies contribution, which includes a scholarship for one family member. For investors with families who value both affordability and quality of life options, Antigua delivers a compelling combination.
