Antigua and Barbuda's Citizenship by Investment Program offers one of the most affordable Caribbean citizenship options starting from $230,000. The program provides three distinct investment routes: National Development Fund contribution, real estate investment, or business investment. As a Commonwealth nation, citizenship grants visa-free access to 151+ destinations including the UK, Schengen Area, China, Russia, and Hong Kong. With minimal residency requirements (just 5 days in 5 years), fast processing times of 6+ months, and the ability to include your entire family, this program offers excellent value for global mobility and a prestigious second passport.

Immigrant Invest conducts a preliminary Due Diligence to prepare for the check at the CBI unit. The preliminary check helps lawyers identify the rejection risks in advance and find an alternative solution.
The preliminary Due Diligence is entirely confidential. The investor only provides their passport. Immigrant Invest has its own Compliance Department. A certified Anti-Money Laundering Officer checks investors' documents, considering the nuances of the Due Diligence procedures in different countries. The preliminary Due Diligence reduces the risk of a citizenship application being rejected to 1%.
Take a short anonymous test and learn more about the nuances of Due Diligence checks.
Immigrant Invest lawyers provide the investor with a list of personal documents and financial records required to participate in the CBI program.
They translate and notarise the copies on receipt of the documents and fill out government forms.
The prepared documents are sent to the Antigua and Barbuda CBI unit. The CBI unit carries out a Due Diligence check by examining the investor's documents and checking information against international databases. All family members over 12 years old must undergo the Due Diligence check.
The main applicant and dependents over 16 also undergo a mandatory interview. It is held online in English or applicants' native language. Due Diligence is a crucial stage of the CBI program. Its results define whether the applicants get citizenship or not.
Once Immigrant Invest receives approval notification, the applicant must fulfil the investment condition within 30 days: contribute to the selected fund, buy real estate, or invest in a business.
The passport and naturalisation certificate are issued within 4 weeks after investing. The applicant receives the documents at a convenient address.
The investor and all adult family members must take the oath of allegiance. They can do it via videoconference, at a consulate or in person in Antigua and Barbuda.
The new citizens should visit Antigua and Barbuda for at least 5 days within 5 years after getting their passports.
