FAQ - Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment
The Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program is a government-established route that allows qualified applicants and eligible family members to obtain citizenship through an approved economic contribution. It is administered by the Citizenship by Investment Unit and operates under a formal legal and due diligence framework.
The program currently starts from US$230,000 through the National Development Fund (NDF) route, subject to the applicable government processing and due diligence fees. Other approved routes are available depending on the applicant’s objectives and family structure.
Antigua and Barbuda offers four principal routes: a contribution to the National Development Fund, an investment in approved real estate, a qualifying business investment, and the University of the West Indies Fund option. Each route has its own cost profile, structure, and suitability depending on the applicant’s priorities.
The minimum real estate investment is US$300,000 in an approved project, and the property must generally be held for a minimum period of five years. This route is often considered by applicants who prefer a tangible asset as part of their citizenship strategy.
The University of the West Indies Fund is a government-approved route designed particularly for larger families. The minimum contribution is US$260,000 for a family of six or more, and it includes one year of tuition at the University of the West Indies for one qualifying family member.
