About CIP

Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) is one of the latest program of this kind in the Caribbean (Grenada and St. Lucia came after). It was established following parliamentary assent to the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Regulations 2014.
These provisions allow the government to operate a program under which citizenship is granted to persons who qualify under criteria set by parliamentary decision.
The Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) requires a person to make a significant economic contribution to the country. In exchange, and subject to stringent application procedures, including thorough background checks, the applicants and their families are granted citizenship. Families including spouse, dependent children under the age of 28 years, parents and grandparents over 58 years may qualify for citizenship through the submission of one simultaneous application.

To qualify for citizenship, the primary applicant must be over 18 years of age, meet the application requirements and select one of three investment options.

Requirements

Applicants will be required to confirm one of the investment options. Thereafter it is required as part of the regulatory process to conduct an initial inquiry on each applicant. Following this, a more comprehensive government application form is completed and supporting documents obtained to submit to the approving body, Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) for processing.
On submission of the fully completed application forms, with all supporting documentation to the CIU, the applicant is required to pay the full government Due Diligence fees along with 10% of the government Processing fees which are non-refundable.
Within 90 days of the submission of an application, the CIU will notify the Agent in writing on behalf of the applicant that the application has been approved, denied or delayed for whatever reason.

Family Applications

Family applications will be considered to include the following family members:

Note: For the purposes of the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program ‘child’ means a biological or legally adopted child of the main applicant, or of the spouse of the main applicant.

Passport A & B

The passport will be valid for a period of 5 years and will be considered for renewal subject to the recipient having spent a total of 5 full days in Antigua and Barbuda, since gaining citizenship, within the 5 year period. The passport does not afford automatic voting rights and persons would need to qualify as outlined in the Representation of the People Act.

The passport will afford the holder visa free travel to 150 countries that includes Hong Kong, Singapore, U.K. and the Schengen Area.

Deprivation of citizenship may occur if the citizen does not spend at least 5 days in Antigua and Barbuda during the period of five calendar years after having obtained citizenship and they will not be entitled to repayment of any investment, contribution or purchase price made by them in their original application for citizenship.

Deprivation of citizenship will occur where such registration as a citizen was obtained by false representation or fraud or willful concealment of material facts or the person has been convicted in Antigua and Barbuda of an act of treason or sedition.
