How does Citizenship by Investment work in Antigua and Barbuda, and who qualifies?

Antigua and Barbuda's most straightforward citizenship route is a non-refundable contribution to the National Development Fund (NDF). For a family of up to four, contributions start from roughly USD 230,000, on top of due-diligence and government fees. Because it is a donation rather than a property purchase, the NDF is usually the simplest and quickest way through the programme.

It suits individuals and families who want a second citizenship with strong travel benefits and very little obligation to live there. Every applicant must clear background and due-diligence checks, and the application has to be filed through an authorised agent rather than directly with the government.

One point worth planning for: Antigua and Barbuda asks new citizens to spend at least five days in the country within their first five years. The figures and family-size pricing do change, so it is wise to confirm the current minimums with the CIP Unit. ACME can review your situation and help you decide whether the NDF or another option fits best.
