Charmaine Quinland-Donovan, the Chief Executive Officer of Antigua & Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Unit, has reacted to the news that the country’s Citizenship by Investment Program has been ranked third on the Henley Global Citizenship Program Index.

Quinland-Donovan noted that the program received perfect scores in residence requirements and physical visit requirements, and passed in investment requirements, visa-free access, processing time, compliance, and transparency.

However, she acknowledged less favorable marks for reputation, quality of life, and relocation flexibility.

“Looking at the various categories being ranked, we see that the five programs in the Eastern Caribbean are similarly positioned. This means that the industry sees much homogeneity across these programs,” Quinland-Donovan stated.

“It, therefore, behooves us to ensure that we have shared values, shared red lines, and shared best practices and standards.”

The Henley Global Citizenship Program Index is a comprehensive ranking of the world’s most popular citizenship-by-investment programs, evaluating various criteria to assess their attractiveness and effectiveness.

  1. Other than buying Antigua and Barbuda Passports.What other levels of Investments do they contribute to the Nation as a whole. That so called Citizens By Investments Program name should be changed.It should be called,selling of Passports to the highest bidders for Citizenships.

    • Hello – that’s not true actually.

      I was an applicant of the CIU and received my passport recently. I’ve been visiting Antigua my whole life. I have local friends. I’ve worked with businesses there. I’ve bought property there. I also make sure to let my other investment partners know that Antigua is the place to be.

      Say what you will but this gives us incentive to see Antigua succeed. It’s a good idea having a bunch of millionaires root for your country to have a strong economy. It’s more than just a document – I wouldn’t travel on a tissue.

      • @Antigua P: A DEY ME BARN.A DEY ME NABLE TRING BURY.ME OWN 4 PROPERTY DEY INNA ANTIGUA.YOU AND OTHERS LAKKA YOU BUY PASSPORTS AND GET THE SAME DAMN PRIVILEGES AND NMORE THAN ARE WE THAT BARN DEY.

  2. Outside of seeing many buildings going up, I’m still waiting to see and feel the effects of this citizens by investment in this country.

  3. Its happening all over he world. Rich coming in and buying up all. Up to the top in politics which means law change too. we are all doomed.
