Program details

Antigua and Barbuda offers a citizenship by investment programme with routes built around a contribution or a qualifying property purchase. The program is currently active.

Applicants typically choose between a contribution to the National Development Fund or an approved real estate purchase.

National Development Fund contribution (minimum): USD 230K
Approved real estate purchase (minimum): USD 300K

Under the National Development Fund option, the main applicant may include a spouse, dependent children, and dependent parents over 55 (with separate due diligence and government fees).

Real estate acquired under the programme cannot be resold for five years unless reinvested into an alternate approved property.
