Antigua & Barbuda

Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Program

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Program Overview

Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment program was designed in 2013 to attract foreign investors to the country. Antigua and Barbuda are twin islands right in the middle of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. As one of the most developed countries in the Caribbean, there is economic stability and a stable political climate.

Whether you contribute to the National Development Fund (NDF) or invest in an approved real estate project, Antigua and Barbuda offers citizenship visa-free travel to over 154 countries without the need to relocate.

ABOUT THE COUNTRY

Country Overview

Antigua & Barbuda, often known as the Land of 365 beaches, is a famous sun and sand resort for visitors from all over the world. These twin islands, which are part of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, are positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

An island tour that covers all of Antigua’s highlights includes a visit to English Harbor, the historic district that houses Nelson’s Dockyard, where salty seagoing vessels and luxury yachts meet in shimmering waters. With its bird’s-eye view of the entire island, Shirley Heights is an excellent place to watch the sunset. Barbuda, a series of gorgeous sandy beaches only a few miles away, offers a more laid-back attitude than Antigua. Opportunities to go out on the sea abound on both islands, from yachting excursions to snorkeling and swimming.
