National Development Fund
From US$230,000A non-refundable contribution supporting national development initiatives.
Antigua and Barbuda
Citizenship by
investment.
A considered introduction to the government-administered programme, its established pathways and the importance of independent advice.
An informed beginning
Opportunity,
approached with clarity.
Antigua and Barbuda permits qualifying applicants to apply for citizenship through prescribed contribution and investment routes.
Citizenship is never automatic. Every application remains subject to law, government approval, due diligence, source-of-funds verification and the applicant satisfying all programme requirements.
Published pathways
Four established routes.
Indicative minimums currently published by the Citizenship by Investment Unit, excluding additional government and professional fees.
Approved real estate
From US$300,000An investment in a formally approved development, generally held for at least five years.
Approved business
From US$1.5 millionA sole or qualifying joint investment into an eligible approved business.
University fund
From US$260,000A contribution pathway designed principally for qualifying larger families.
The real estate pathway
Approval is
fundamental.
Only investments in developments formally approved by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda may qualify under the real estate pathway. Purchasing property on the islands does not, by itself, create an entitlement to apply for or receive citizenship.
Kingdom Executive Residences is not presently listed by the Citizenship by Investment Unit as an approved development project. Unless and until formal approval is published, no Kingdom residence should be understood as a qualifying CBI investment. Check the official approved-project list (opens in a new tab).
