Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship-by-Investment Policy Updates
December (2) 2014
Eligible Countries
In a continued effort to safeguard the integrity of the Antigua and Barbuda passport, The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has made a decision that the Citizenship-by-Investment Program will not accept applications from nationals of the following countries:
- Afghanistan
- Iran
- Iraq
- North Korea
- Somalia
- Yemen
However, as an exception, nationals of the above listed countries who are lawful permanent residents of Canada, the USA or Western Europe will be eligible to apply for citizenship through the Citizenship-by- Investment Program.
Residency requirement reduced to five days only
The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has recently reduced the residency requirement for investors who obtain citizenship through their Citizenship-by-Investment Program. The requirement is now only five days stay on the island over the first five years of citizenship being attained, instead of the original 35 days.
The reduction of this standard requirement provides further incentive to utilize the fast-track method to Antigua and Barbuda citizenship in as little as 60-90 days. Qualified investors can now enjoy this easily accessible beautiful island, with its rich history, 365 beaches and in addition have access to over 125 countries worldwide.
As always, please feel free to contact us to schedule a complimentary consultation or for more information via email at csl@corporatesolutionsltd.com or via telephone at +1(869) 466-2133.
Sincerely,
Shannon Hawley
