The Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment program is established and particularly designed with families in mind. The second passport enables visa-free or simplified access to numerous countries in Europe, the Caribbean, and selected Asian financial centers. In addition, there are no permanent residence, language, or education requirements.
Visa-free or simplified access to around 150+ countries, including the UK, the Schengen Area, and Russia. A notable feature: Antigua & Barbuda is the only Caribbean passport with visa-free access to South Africa.
With tax residency in Antigua & Barbuda, there are no taxes on capital gains, inheritances, wealth, or gifts. Foreign income is also not taxed if it is not economically generated in the country.
A main applicant can include close family members in the application. This includes the spouse, children — biological or adopted — up to age 30, parents aged 55 and over, and siblings of any age.
Antigua & Barbuda is often used as a family-oriented standard solution in the Caribbean CBI market. It is suitable for applicants looking for a balanced second passport with solid mobility and clear conditions — not for purely tactical or short-term optimization.
We guide you through the entire process — from the initial consultation to passport handover. Discreetly, efficiently, and with a personal German-speaking point of contact.
Under the official Citizenship by Investment program, there are two ways to meet the requirements: either through a non-refundable donation of at least 250,000 USD to the National Development Fund or through an investment of at least 300,000 USD in a government-approved real estate project.
To qualify, one of the following three routes can be chosen:
Note: Caribbean citizenship programs have been under increased international pressure for some time, particularly from the EU and the United States. Further tightening of requirements and adjustments to investment amounts cannot be ruled out in the future.
The passport provides access to over 150 countries worldwide, including the United Kingdom, the Schengen states, China, and Singapore. Visa-free access to South Africa is also available.
Spouses, biological or adopted children up to the age of 30, parents aged 55 and over, as well as unmarried and childless siblings may be included. In each case, financial dependency on the main applicant must be demonstrated.
The first passport is usually issued with a validity of 5 years and can then be renewed for 10 years at a time.
From submission of the complete documents to a decision, the process usually takes around six to nine months, depending on the individual review.
After approval, the required investment amounts must be paid. The certificate of naturalization is then issued, and the passport can be applied for on that basis.
No. Antigua & Barbuda does not have a general military service obligation for citizens.
Within the first five years after naturalization, a minimum stay of five days in total is required.
The process can generally be handled through a government-authorized agent without requiring personal presence during the application.
Yes. Dual citizenship is permitted.
