The Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) will implement amendments to its Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) regulations starting August 1, 2024.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These changes, announced by CIU CEO Charmaine Donovan, affect the definition of dependents, allow for an alternate main applicant, and revise minimum investment thresholds and fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These amendments follow a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signed by five OECS territories operating CIPs. Although the MoA set a minimum investment threshold of US$200,000 by June 30, Antigua & Barbuda requested an additional 30 days for parliamentary approval.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The new regulations permit a main applicant to designate an alternate main applicant, who must be at least 18 and authorized to act on their behalf if needed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Revised fees include increased processing and due diligence costs. The new minimum investment thresholds are higher than the proposed US$200,000 but lower than those detailed in the CIU\u2019s June 27 memo. For example, the NDF option is US$230,000 for a family of four and US$245,000 for larger families, while the UWI Fund and Real Estate options are US$300,000 and US$325,000, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislative delay provided Antigua & Barbuda time to reassess and potentially adjust its pricing within the regional framework.<\/p>
