Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship | Acantha Management Ltd.

Citizenship

Antigua & Barbuda has recently launched its Citizenship by Investment Program. (CIP)
Investors along with their families will have the opportunity to apply for citizenship in Antigua and Barbuda thereby receiving all the benefits that citizenship confers.

Obtaining a passport through the citizenship by investment program allows an investor and their family to enjoy a number of benefits conferred by their citizenship.

As a member of the Commonwealth the holder of an Antigua and Barbuda passport can enjoy visa-free travel to over 100 countries including the United Kingdom, Canada and all European Union Schengen countries.

As well as the ability to travel freely and invest in a growing economy the citizenship will allow, but not require, an investor the ability to reside in Antigua for as long as they would like.

Acantha Management Ltd. has been appointed authorized representative within the Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) for processing all applications directly to the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU).
