Alternative routes include USD 300K in approved real estate (held for 5 years), USD 1.5M business investment, or USD 150K contribution to the University of the West Indies Fund (joint application). Processing takes 3-6 months, among the fastest in the region.
The passport provides visa-free access to 150+ countries including the UK, Schengen Area, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Antigua and Barbuda has no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax, and no wealth tax. The country operates on consumption taxes and import duties.
The East Caribbean dollar is pegged to the US dollar. The twin-island nation offers Caribbean lifestyle, English-speaking environment, political stability, and excellent beaches.
