An offshore business has become a key source of tax revenue for Antigua and Barbuda after gaining sovereignty. As a result, this jurisdiction:
is constantly under pressure of the global community;
has to conduct due diligence checks on applicants for citizenship by investment.
An investor’s impeccable reputation means:
No criminal record for at least last 10 years and no criminal proceedings against an applicant.
The ability to prove a legal source of income and funds which will be spent directly on investment in the island economy.
No bans on entry to the countries of the European Union, the UK, the USA and Canada.
It is also undesirable to have refusals to enter those countries with which Antigua and Barbuda has signed visa-waiver agreements. On the other hand, it is no secret that people invest in a second passport when they cannot obtain a visa for a particular country without leaving home. It means that if you have been rejected in the past, do not give up on obtaining your Caribbean citizenship by investment, especially if you ask a good immigration adviser for help from the beginning.
