Antigua and Barbuda citizenship: new investment requirements in 2024

Antigua and Barbuda citizenship

Caribbean destinations are on demand among sophisticated travelers seeking quiet place to be on vacation now when it is much safer to be somewhere away from big geopolitical crises. But leisure is not the only reason to focus on these islands.  They are also known for Citizenship by investment programs, that allow an applicant a life changing option – to obtain a passport with a long list of visa free countries to travel to. Let’s get a closer look to Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment program and its new pricing policy. And also, we’ll give an overview of soon-to-open local infrastructure.

Last summer Antigua and Barbuda citizenship program went through serious changes as the other CIP’s of the region did. Since the 1st of August 2024 investor may apply for Antigua and Barbuda passport under the following conditions:

Real estate investment

starting from USD 300,000 (minimum)

For example, units in Hodges Bay Resort. Opened in 2019, Hodges Bay offers luxurious hotel and residential accommodation. Resort is located on the North of the island, St Johns, just 10 minutes from V.C Bird International Airport. Hodges Bay, creation of world-renowned architects Kobi Karp, boasts a massive 202,854 square feet of finished resort buildings.

To obtain Antigua and Barbuda citizenship, you must purchase a share in the hotel in the amount of $300,000 USD. The investor is provided with additional privileges such as a postal address in Antigua and 7 nights of free hotel accommodation per year (valued at $8,000 per year). After 5 years and 6 month of ownership investor may request a buyback option from Hodges Bay and get $135,000 USD. Or sell share to new investor for CIP for $300,000 USD.

Antigua and Barbuda citizenship

Plus, cost of legal support services.

Donation to the National Development Fund (NDF)

starting at USD 230,000 for 1-4 applicants or $245,000 for 5 or more applicants.

Antigua and Barbuda citizenship

Plus, cost of legal support services.

Donation to the University of the West Indies Fund (UWI)

USD $300,000 for 6 or more applicants (family friendly option).

Request a calculation from APEX giving the details about family members you want to include in application.

What about crypto? Any cryptocurrency is not accepted by the government for Citizenship of Antigua investment program. But you may use cryptocurrency such as Bitcoins to transfer money via Apex Capital Partners, license agent of the CIP.

Mandatory interview. As every Caribbean CIP started to interview applicants since 2024, APEX gained an expertise in scheduling and preparing candidates to pass one. You may be sure that everything will be taken into account. Each interview is planned and managed using the customary process which is in place for virtual Oaths.

Mind that first time after finishing naturalization process main applicant and his family members are given passports valid for 5 years. Both main applicant and dependents must visit Antigua and Barbuda for at least 5 days within the first 5 years of obtaining citizenship (effective from July 1st, 2023). The second passport given after will be valid for 10 years.

De Niro’s Nobu Beach Inn. New international airport. What’s next?

Barbuda, Antigua’s sister island, is becoming a new hot spot on the map for most exclusive vacations by opening a brand-new international airport this October with the longer runway to receive larger aircraft. All was mastered to be able to work 24/7 and welcome night landings. Representatives of the airport say, that both private jets and commercial planes like the Embraer 170 may safely land here from now on. 

It has been announced that Robert De Niro is going to open a Nobu Beach Inn here in Barbuda in 2025. A remote hideaway on the exclusive Princess Diana Beach. The Nobu Beach Inn is set to offer a unique blend of luxury, privacy, and authentic Caribbean charm.

By any means Antigua and Barbuda is worth visiting and also that might be one of the best places to invest in.
