Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship Programme Praised for High Standards

Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP) has been hailed as a regional benchmark for due diligence and professionalism, according to officials at a recent diplomatic briefing at the Royalton Hotel.

Chairman of the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) Jeff Hadeed and CEO Charmaine Donovan said the programme continues to draw praise during international reviews, with Donovan highlighting a recent UK inspection where officials lauded the unit’s transparency and efficiency.

Despite an increase in the minimum investment threshold last August—from US$100,000 to US$230,000—Donovan reported that interest in the programme remains strong, with over 2,000 applications already filed in 2024. She noted that many applicants moved quickly to submit before the price hike, but demand has since remained steady.

Antigua and Barbuda’s CIP remains attractive in part due to its minimal residency requirement—just five days.

Addressing recent scrutiny from the US, Donovan said there had been policy alignment under previous administrations, but noted uncertainty under current Trump-era policies affecting all five Caribbean countries offering similar programmes.

  1. Antigua people need to know the truth, don’t switch the story on them the price of the passport was decreased. Antigua are not doing proper background check on these people.some are terrorists and killers in their own countries , just wanting easy access into the US and UK. when they are caught in their crimes they present an Antigua passport as if they were born there. .the life of born Antiguan are been change negatively because of the love of money.

  2. So what if these white mafia terrorist who is buying our passports sit over coffee sends a note to their buddy media company to give them validation? Could we have bought their countries passport? No way. We are just been infantilized as a nation. Talking about we independent and have anthem.

  3. @Stone, where is your data to show that the Dominica CBI is corrupt. You might just be another Dominican working hard to tarnish the name Dominica based on your politics. You quickly believe what was presented here but if the same information was presented on behalf of Dominica you would call it a lie.
