Antigua and Barbuda to focus on Digital Nomad Programme as future of CIP hangs in the balance

3

CABINET NOTES:

The Cabinet invited to its meeting the Head of the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) and a CIP Expert who has more than thirty years of trading in the citizenship of several countries.

He brought the Cabinet’s attention to a European Parliament press release of February 15th, 2022.

The release calls on the states operating CIP Programmes to end their schemes by 2025; that request would include five of the six OECS independent states.

The Europeans are discussing the possibility of ending the Schengen visa programme–that allows visitors entry into one European state and unimpeded access to the other twenty nine–for those countries operating CIP Programmes.

The European Parliament also asked their members to discontinue their CIP Programmes (Cyprus, Malta).

The Antigua and Barbuda Digital Nomad Programme is one alternative that could be more fully exploited, since it does not involve alleviating tax burdens which the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) deems to be unfair competition.

The Head of the CIU and the CIP expert will return to Cabinet in three weeks with a plan that can possibly surmount the concerns of the OECD.

    THE ABLP MASHED IT UP

    • senators Malaka Parker, David Massiah, Colin Derrick and Anthony Stuart could potentially be chastised for breaking ranks. Senators Malaka Parker and David Massiah will live to fight another day as the prime minister rejects their resignations.

      This comes 20 days after Baldwin Spencer accused the two Senators – along with Colin Derrick and Anthony Stuart – of having “sided with the opposition”, sinking the Citizenship by Investment Bill in the Senate. The CIP Bill was defeated in the Senate on February 13 and retuned to the Lower House of Monday with no changes.

      The prime minister moved a motion that the Senate “reconsider the rejection of the Bill.”

  2. Canada , USA and other nations have CIP in one form or another, back to the old ways Get Married
