In 2013, the Government of Antigua & Barbuda created a Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) to attract investors of good character. Investors who make a substantial investment in Antigua & Barbuda qualify to obtain citizenship and a passport of the country.
Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship Program, grants citizenship and passport within 6 months only.
As of 4 November 2019, citizens of Antigua and Barbuda have visa-free or visa on arrival access to 165 countries and territories including the United Kingdom, Europe, Hong Kong, India, Singapore.
As of 6 June 2023, Canada announced the addition of 13 countries to the electronic travel authorization (eTA) program. Travellers from these countries who have either held a Canadian visa in the last 10 years or who currently hold a valid United States non-immigrant visa can now apply for an eTA instead of a visa when travelling to Canada by air.
Business people are obtaining this citizenship to secure freedom of movement, facilitate asset relocation, implement tax strategies and ensure their children benefit from the liberties a second citizenship will offer them throughout their lives.
