The Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program was established in 2013 with the goal of promoting public projects through support from foreign investors.
The investment process to obtain Antigua and Barbuda citizenship takes only 4 to 6 months to complete, allowing foreign investors to start enjoying the benefits of Antigua and Barbuda citizenship and a second citizenship with visa-free access to over 150 different destinations. This program is managed by the Citizenship by Investment Unit established by the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda and is considered one of the most successful citizenship programs in the Caribbean.
The Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program connects high-net-worth investors with government-approved projects in need of investment.
In appreciation of their contribution to the national infrastructure development, the program grants investors citizenship and a citizenship from Antigua and Barbuda.
This facilitates easier access to the Caribbean market for entrepreneurs and reduces entry requirements into the United States and Canada, as well as providing visa-free travel to other top destinations around the world.
To obtain citizenship in Antigua and Barbuda through a donation, you must make a contribution of USD 100,000 to the National Development Fund (NDF), a public non-profit fund established in 2006.
The funds in the NDF are used to finance government-sponsored projects aimed at developing the infrastructure and economy of Antigua and Barbuda.
This donation allows the main investor and their immediate family, up to four people, to apply for the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program. If the family consists of five or more members, the donation must be USD 125,000.
Additionally, the processing fees for a family of four are USD 30,000, while any additional dependents incur a fee of USD 15,000 per person.

Purchase real estate worth USD 400,000 under the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program to qualify for citizenship. You can either invest alone or jointly invest USD 200,000 with another investor.
The property must be held for at least 5 years from the date of purchase. However, during this period, you can generate income from the property as most of the properties are profitable options such as hotels, resorts, villas, and commercial parks.
In addition to the cost of the property, you must pay processing fees: USD 30,000 for a family of four and an additional USD 15,000 for each extra dependent.

Established in 1948, the University of the West Indies (UWI) is a public university that provides higher education to residents of most Caribbean islands, including Antigua and Barbuda. UWI has campuses in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados. In 2019, Antigua and Barbuda inaugurated a campus of UWI on the island of Antigua.
The UWI Fund was created to support this university. It is currently considered an ideal investment option for large families seeking Antigua and Barbuda citizenship through investment, with the added benefit of free access to UWI.
To pursue this path, the applicant must contribute USD 150,000 to the UWI Fund for a family of six, plus USD 15,000 for each additional dependent. In return, they will receive Antigua and Barbuda citizenship and citizenship through investment, along with a one-year scholarship for one family member (tuition only).
This option is for entrepreneurs who wish to invest in an approved business.
An approved business will be recommended by the Citizenship by Investment Unit to the Minister and subsequently included in the list of businesses under the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program.
The minimum investment amounts are as follows:
