To obtain citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda, the applicant must invest one of the following minimum amounts, depending on which investment option he or she chooses:
Option 1: Investment in a government-approved real estate project
The government of Antigua and Barbuda determines which real estate projects meet the established threshold to be designated as approved real estate projects, after which they are eligible to participate in the investment-based citizenship program. An applicant only needs to make the minimum investment, regardless of the number of dependents included in the application. Two or more applicants may invest together in one property, provided that each applicant contributes an amount at least equal to the minimum investment required. A real estate acquired under the real estate option can be resold after 5 years after the granting of citizenship.
Minimum investment:
- $200,000 (regardless of the number of dependents included in the application)
Option 2: Donation to the National Development Fund
The National Development Fund (NDF) is a non-profit fund under parliamentary supervision. It has its legal basis in Section 42(2) of the Finance Administration Act of 2006, which provides for the funding of government sponsored projects, such as, but not limited to, public-private partnerships and approved charitable investments.
Minimum investment:
- $100,000 - Single applicant or a family of 4 or fewer people.
- $125,000 - Family of 5 or more people
Option 3: Investment in business ventures
Under this option, an applicant is making an investment in an existing or proposed business that has been approved by the authority administering the investment-based citizenship program. There are two routes within this option:
(a) one-person investment in an approved company; or
(b) joint investment of several persons in an approved company.
Minimum investment:
- $1,500,000 - One person investment in an approved company
- $5,000,000 - Two or more people making a joint investment
Option 4: Investment in the University of the West Indies (UWI) fund
This option allows the applicant to invest in the University of the West Indies Fund to obtain citizenship for the entire family. The fund is only open to minimum family sizes of six - if there are fewer than six people in the family, the client must choose one of the other three investment options. This option also entitles one family member to a one-year scholarship at the University of the West Indies.
Minimum investment:
- $150,000 - Family of 6
- $15,000 - Each additional dependent
