Citizenship by Investment - University of the West Indies Fund

The University of the West Indies (UWI) Fund option is a specialized citizenship-by-investment pathway designed specifically for larger families. By contributing a non-refundable sum of USD 260,000, families of six or more individuals can secure citizenship in Antigua and Barbuda. This fund was established to finance the development of the fourth landed campus of the University of the West Indies, which is located in Antigua. Beyond the acquisition of a second passport, this program offers a unique educational benefit: one member of the family is entitled to a one-year, tuition-only scholarship at the University of the West Indies, providing significant value for families prioritizing higher education for their children.

This route is ideal for high-net-worth families who wish to obtain the benefits of Antiguan citizenship, including visa-free travel to over 150 countries, while simultaneously supporting the development of regional academic infrastructure. The application process requires strict adherence to due diligence standards, including mandatory interviews for all applicants aged 16 and older. While the investment is higher than the standard National Development Fund donation for smaller groups, the all-inclusive pricing for a family of six makes it a highly competitive and attractive option for larger households looking to secure their future through a reputable Caribbean citizenship program.
