Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment

The History Of Antigua & Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda, an independent Commonwealth state in the Eastern Caribbean, boasts a rich history. Discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, it later became a British settlement and a pivotal naval base under Lord Nelson. Initially famed for crops like tobacco, cotton, and ginger, the island eventually thrived on sugar cane farming, evolving into today’s tourism and financial services industries.

Tax Benefits and Legal Framework

As a constitutional monarchy with a British-style parliamentary system, Antigua and Barbuda offer favorable tax conditions. Residents enjoy exemption from personal income, capital gains, wealth, and inheritance taxes. Additionally, there’s no taxation on income earned outside the country, nor is there citizenship-based taxation for Antiguans residing abroad.

Membership and Citizenship Program

Antigua and Barbuda are active members of international organizations like the United Nations, the British Commonwealth, and the Caribbean Community. The Citizenship by Investment Program, initiated in 2013, offers pathways to citizenship for investors. EC Holdings is a licensed agent and authorized representative of this esteemed program.

Program Features

Our Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program boasts swift processing times of approximately 3 to 4 months. It allows inclusion of dependent children and parents, with options to add spouses and siblings post-approval. Visa-free travel to over 150 countries, including the UK, Schengen Area, and Singapore, enhances global mobility.

Additional Benefits

The program grants the right to abode in all OECS member states, with no residency requirement and minimal physical presence obligations. Direct flights from major cities like London, New York, and Miami facilitate accessibility. Investors can choose between various investment options, including donations to the National Development Fund, real estate investments, or contributions to the University of the West Indies fund.
