You can become a citizen of Antigua and Barbuda through the CIP, which requires an approved economic contribution to be made either by investing in pre-approved real estate options, the University of West Indies Fund, Business Investments or contributing towards the National Development Fund (NDF). After this contribution has been made, applicants must go through rigorous due diligence checks before being granted Approval in Principle from Government authorities. Following approval from all relevant stakeholders, including background checks, passports will be issued within six months of payment of your investment amount to the Government fund.
