Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment 2026 🇦🇬

The $230,000 NDF contribution covers up to four applicants, additional members cost just $15,000 each, and the dependant definition extends to children under 30, parents, grandparents and unmarried siblings — no other Caribbean programme combines all three.

Families of six or more can contribute $260,000 (processing fees included) to the University of the West Indies Fund — and one family member receives a one-year tuition scholarship. For a family of six it is the cheapest citizenship route in the world.

Yes, but lightly: 5 days within the first five years of citizenship, during which you take the oath of allegiance. There is no annual residence requirement.

Yes — Antigua & Barbuda citizens enter the UK under the Electronic Travel Authorisation system, alongside visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to the Schengen Area, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Plan for 6–9 months end to end in 2026. The CIU's enhanced due diligence has lengthened older 4-month estimates, though clean files still clear fastest.

Yes — children up to age 30 qualify, and since the August 2024 reforms they no longer need to prove financial dependence on the main applicant.

At $300,000+ with a 5-year hold, the property route preserves capital and can generate rental income, but the all-in cost exceeds the NDF for most families. We model both before you decide.

Antigua & Barbuda levies no personal income tax on worldwide income, and no capital gains, wealth or inheritance taxes. Your obligations in your current country of tax residence continue until you restructure — which we coordinate with tax counsel.
