How to obtain Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment: step-by -step process
Preliminary check
A compliance specialist at Passportivity conducts a preliminary check of the investor to prepare for the program department’s Due Diligence. This review helps reduce the risk of refusal to as little as 1% and makes it possible to address potential issues in advance, for example, by preparing additional documents.
The check is fully confidential. The investor provides only a passport copy.
Document preparation
Passportivity lawyers provide the investor with a list of personal and financial documents required for the program. The applicant submits the originals, which are then translated, certified, and used to complete government forms.
Application submission and Due Diligence
Passportivity lawyers submit the documents to the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Unit. The investor pays the Due Diligence and government fees.
Program specialists verify information about the investor and their family. All applicants over 12 years of age undergo screening.
Applicants over 16 years of age are invited to an interview. It is held online, in English or in the applicant’s native language.
Making the investment
If the Due Diligence check is successful, the investor receives an official letter of approval. The chosen investment must then be transferred.
Receiving documents 🔥
The investor and their family members receive Antigua and Barbuda passports. The initial passport is valid for five years and must then be renewed.
Oath of allegiance
Every new citizen of Antigua and Barbuda over 18 years of age takes an oath of allegiance. A licensed notary conducts the virtual ceremony, which lasts about 30 minutes. At the end, certificates are signed to finalise the citizenship process.
The ceremony takes about three weeks to plan.
