Antigua & Barbuda

Antigua, with its coastline of safe harbors and a nearly unbroken wall of coral reef for protection, proved to be an ideal location to conceal a fleet, and hence, Admiral Horatio Nelson established Great Britain’s most significant Caribbean base in 1784. Today, those same features have made Antigua and Barbuda one of the Caribbean’s top tourist destinations, attracting visitors from around the world to explore its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters.

Unrestricted right to live, work, travel and study anywhere in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).

With visa-free travel to over 150 countries and territories, including the UK, Schengen area, and Hong Kong, individuals can enjoy the convenience and flexibility of global mobility.

Antigua and Barbuda provides applicants with the benefit of no taxation on their worldwide income.

Known as the celebrity capital of the Caribbean, Antigua and Barbuda boasts stunning beaches and crystal-clear azure waters.

The Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) of Antigua and Barbuda was established in 2014 under the Citizenship by Investment Act, which requires individuals to make a substantial economic contribution to the country. In return, the applicants and their families are granted citizenship.
