Citizenship Law

Antigua & Barbuda Legal Background

The Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program grants the right to citizenship to foreign nationals who meet a specific investment threshold.

Under this program, a foreign national must make a non-refundable contribution of at least USD 100,000 to the National Development Fund (NDF) established by the Government of Antigua & Barbuda. This contribution is non-refundable and is directly transferred to the state budget. Additionally, the investor must provide the necessary documents and complete all legal procedures.

For individuals opting for the real estate investment option, they must purchase property valued at a minimum of USD 200,000 in a government-approved real estate project. This investment must be approved by the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU). The purchased property must be held for a period of five years, and during the investment period, all legal obligations set by the government must be adhered to.

Furthermore, the following documents are required:

  • Full Copy of Passport: The validity of the passport must be certified by the applicant.
  • Citizenship Application Form: Must be completed in accordance with the official template.
  • Photograph: A passport-standard photo is required.
  • Financial Documents: Official paperwork documenting the investment amount and its sources.
  • Proof of Contribution: Confirmation of the payment made to the National Development Fund.
  • Criminal Record: A clean criminal record issued by the relevant authorities.
  • Medical Report: A report detailing the applicant’s overall health, including HIV test results.

These documents will be used in the assessment process for the citizenship applications of both the applicant and any family members included in the application. Prior to submitting the documents, the investor must coordinate with the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) and complete all relevant legal procedures.

If the application includes minors or other dependents, all of the aforementioned documents (except for the marriage certificate) must also be submitted for them. Additionally, consent from the other parent is required, which must be notarized by Antigua & Barbuda notaries or certified by the relevant administrative authorities.
