Antigua and Barbuda is focused on Citizenship by Investment, with four routes: the National Development Fund, approved real estate, a business investment, or the University of the West Indies Fund for larger families.
Antigua and Barbuda runs a Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme through its CIP Unit, and this is the principal way most people obtain status there. There are four qualifying routes. The National Development Fund (NDF) is a non-refundable contribution and the most popular choice. Approved real estate lets you invest in a designated development and hold it for a set period.
A business investment route is available for entrepreneurs backing an approved enterprise, individually or jointly. Finally, the University of the West Indies (UWI) Fund is designed for larger families, typically six or more, and can include a tuition benefit.
Across all routes you must pass due diligence and apply through an authorised agent. A light physical-presence rule applies: at least five days in the country within the first five years. If you are weighing these against each other, ACME can assess which route matches your family size and budget.
