Citizenship by Investment - Real Estate

The Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program via Real Estate is an alternative pathway that allows investors to acquire citizenship by purchasing property in government-approved developments. This option is particularly attractive to those who prefer to hold a tangible asset rather than making a non-refundable donation. The program encompasses a variety of luxury real estate, including beachfront villas, hotel shares, and resort properties, which can offer the potential for rental income and capital appreciation over the mandatory five-year holding period. It serves as an excellent vehicle for investors looking to combine a high-quality asset acquisition with the global mobility benefits of an Antiguan passport.

Applicants under this route must meet the same stringent due diligence and character requirements as those choosing the donation route. The process involves selecting an approved project, completing the necessary legal documentation, and passing background checks. Once the investment is finalized and the application is approved, the investor and their qualifying family members are granted citizenship. This route is ideal for families or individuals seeking a long-term connection to the Caribbean, as it provides both a second home and the full rights of citizenship, including visa-free travel and favorable tax status.
