Citizenship routes

Direct citizenship pathways

Programmes that result in a new passport, typically with enhanced due diligence, government review, and a direct grant of nationality.

Antigua CBI

One of the strongest Caribbean CBI programmes for families, with dependants up to age 30, flexible family inclusion and competitive overall costs. Antigua & Barbuda also offers strong global mobility, including visa-free access to the Schengen Area and the UK. In my view, it remains one of the best-balanced CBI programmes in the Caribbean.
