In 2013, the government of Antigua and Barbuda introduced its Citizenship by Investment program, establishing it as one of the more recent additions to the Caribbean investment landscape.

Eligibility for this program requires applicants to be at least 18 years old, in sound health, and free of any criminal history. Unique among Caribbean schemes, Antigua and Barbuda’s program stipulates that new citizens must spend a minimum of five days in the country within the first five years to maintain their citizenship status. During this stay, both the primary applicant and any dependents over the age of 18 must participate in an oath of allegiance ceremony.

Further, applicants must contribute a non-refundable donation to the National Development Fund or invest in approved real estate ventures, bolstering national growth and development. This investment not only secures citizenship but also contributes to the flourishing of Antigua and Barbuda.
