  2. ABOUT • Antigua and Barbuda is a Caribbean country consisting of two major islands, Antigua and Barbuda. The island country is in the heart of the Lesser Antilles archipelago. • The official name is 'Antigua and Barbuda.' 'The Rock,' as locals know it, consists of two major islands: Antigua, which has 81,800 people, and Barbuda, with 1,700 people. Together they have a total population count of 83,500 people spread over 442 km² (171 mi²). • The capital city is St. John's on the Antiguan island, with 78,000 inhabitants. • A former British colony, it gained independence in 1981.

  3. The second citizenship program of Antigua and Barbuda is one of the most attractive dual citizenship programs in the Caribbean. • It offers second citizenships for investments and contributions and provides visa-free travel to over 100 countries, including all countries of the European Union. • Investors benefit from no taxes on international earnings and capital gains made within five years after having obtained second citizenship status under the Citizenship-by-Investment Program (CIP)  • An additional advantage is that they do not need to renounce their original nationality.  • With its long tradition as a holiday destination, Antigua and Barbuda has developed into an all-year-round tourism destination offering activities such as sailing, water sports, golfing, diving, fishing, and eco-tourism.

  4. The second citizenship program is regulated by the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship Act, 2011 (Citizenship Law). The requirements and procedures are governed by Citizenship By Investment Unit (CIU) under the Prime Minister's Office. • Participation in this second citizenship program requires investors to make a minimum non-refundable contribution to the country's National Development Fund (PDF) of US$200,000 plus real estate investments of at least US$400,000. • The second citizenship application will only be processed after having made such contributions. Successful candidates can apply for second passports immediately after their successful investment has been approved. Those who receive dual citizenship will also enjoy visa-free travel to over 100 countries, including all countries of the European Union.

  5. Investors should note that the Government will only approve second citizenships after contributing to the National Development Fund. • The requirements for second citizenship are given in detail in the Citizenship By Investment Unit Handbook. Successful applicants must meet strict due diligence criteria before second citizenship can be approved. In order to ensure high-quality second citizens among future dual citizens from Antigua and Barbuda, only very carefully checked candidates who have proven integrity, financial standing, and high moral character will be approved. • The second passport is a fully recognized and available travel document worldwide. It entitles second citizens to visa-free travel to over 100 countries, including all countries of the European Union.
