Program Overview

In the heart of the Eastern Caribbean's Leeward Islands, Antigua and Barbuda gained independence from Britain in 1981. Known as 'the land of 365 beaches,' it's a favored tourist destination with main target markets being the US, Canada, and Europe. Tourism is the dominant income source, making up about 60% of their GDP, and the nation is home to a campus of the prestigious University of West Indies.

The Citizenship-by-Investment Programme was introduced in 2013, offering foreign investors and their families a pathway to obtain citizenship in this beautiful Eastern Caribbean nation.
