INVESTMENT OPTIONS & REQUIREMENTS

There are several options for investment to gain citizenship in Antigua and Barbuda.

You can become a citizen by giving $100,000 to the National Development Fund (NDF), investing in a university or a business, buying property on the island starting at $200,000, or any combination of these options.

OPTION 1

$100,000 — Non-refundable contribution to the National Development Fund (NDF)

The program offers the most affordable way for the family to obtain a second citizenship, through a government donation of $100,000 to cover a family of four.

If an investor applies on their own, the same donation amount would be necessary.

The National Development Fund (NDF) contribution is non-refundable.

OPTION 2

$200,000–$400,000 — Investment in real estate

The government has given its approval to all real estate options. After five years, you can sell the property and release your capital without having an impact on your citizenship. Property may be sold to an additional citizenship candidate.

$200,000 — When applying through a joint investment with another main applicant, this minimum investment is for a single applicant (2 individual investors with their families).

$400,000 — When applying alone, this is the minimum investment in real estate (one investor with the family).

OPTION 3

$150,000 for a family of six (6) or more - University of the West Indies (UWI) Fund

The fourth landed campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) will be financed through the UWI Fund option.

Six people are the basic minimum for each application. Contribution of US$150,000 (including processing costs) for a family of six.

Processing fees: For families with seven or more, US$15,000 must be paid for each additional dependent.

By choosing this option, one family member will be eligible for a one-year scholarship to the University of the West Indies that covers only tuition.

OPTION 4

From US$1,500,000 - Business Investment (BI)

The two business investment options (business can be existing or proposed) are:

1. A principal applicant invests at least US$1,500,000 in an authorized business on his own behalf.

2. A minimum of two people must invest a combined total of at least US$ 5,000,000 in a business that has been approved. Each participant in the joint investment must provide at least US$400,000.
