Bayraktar Attorneys helps foreign investors and their families obtain a second citizenship in Antigua and Barbuda. We advise on the investment routes, prepare your file through an authorized agent, and manage the application from the first consultation to your passport, all in English.
Launched in 2013, the program is known as one of the most family-friendly options in the Caribbean. You keep your current citizenship, and the process is handled largely remotely. Amounts and rules are set by the government and can change; we confirm the current requirements in your consultation.
Talk to an English-speaking lawyer about the program today. The first consultation is free and there is no obligation.
Applications cannot be filed by an individual directly; they go through an authorized agent, and the documents must meet strict standards. We manage the full process, which matters even more for larger family applications.
Our support includes:
Antigua and Barbuda offers a contribution route, a real estate route and two more specialised options. These amounts and rules are set by the government and can change; we confirm current figures in your consultation.
A non-refundable contribution to a fund that supports public projects and economic growth. This is the most cost-effective route for single applicants and smaller families, currently from around USD 200,000 following the 2024 changes.
Purchase of a share or title in a government-approved development, such as a hotel, resort or villa project, currently from around USD 200,000. The property is typically held for around 5 years, after which you can sell it and recover your capital while keeping your citizenship.
A route designed for large families of six or more. A contribution to this fund can also grant one family member a year of tuition-free university study, which is unique to the Antigua and Barbuda program.
A capital investment, alone or in partnership, in an approved commercial enterprise. This suits investors who want an active business interest on the island.
The program combines family value with strong travel and tax benefits. The main advantages are:
The program is open to applicants who meet the government's conditions. In general you should have:
From a complete submission, the process commonly takes a few months, subject to due diligence. The 5-day visit within the first 5 years is usually combined with an oath or formalities on the island; the rest is managed remotely.
Antigua and Barbuda allows full dual citizenship, and the status passes to future generations. If you are comparing family-focused programs, we also advise on Grenada citizenship and Dominica citizenship.
We review your goals and family, confirm eligibility for each member, recommend the most cost-effective route, and set out costs and timing.
We collect, translate and apostille passports, certificates, financial records and source-of-funds evidence for the whole family.
Through an authorized agent, we submit your complete file and pay the application and due diligence fees.
Independent background checks are carried out. On success, the government issues its approval in principle.
You complete the contribution or real estate investment, and we collect your certificates and passports.
We work with international clients daily, entirely in English, and explain each step clearly.
We are used to multi-generation applications and structure them to keep the cost per person low.
We manage the process so travel is limited to the short required visit.
We advise across Caribbean and other citizenship and residency routes so you can compare.
