How do I choose the right visa or residence route for Antigua and Barbuda?

Because Antigua and Barbuda's programme is citizenship-focused, choosing the right route is mainly about matching the investment type to your goals and family size. If you simply want the most direct path, the non-refundable National Development Fund contribution is the usual starting point. If you would rather hold a real asset, an approved real-estate investment lets you do that, with a minimum holding period before resale.

Entrepreneurs who want their capital working in a venture may prefer the business investment route. For a family of six or more, the University of the West Indies Fund is often the most cost-effective, and it can come with an education benefit.

There is no single best answer, since it depends on cost, whether you want a refundable-style asset, and how many dependants you include. A short consultation with ACME can map these trade-offs to your circumstances, and final minimums should always be confirmed with the CIP Unit.
