Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment

Antigua and Barbuda is a Commonwealth country in the Eastern Caribbean. Antigua is 14 miles long and 11 miles wide. The lowland terrain here is very suitable for the production of crops such as tobacco, cotton, and ginger. However, the main industry here is sugarcane farming, with more than 200 years of cultivation. Today, after independence from Britain in 1981, Antigua's key industry is tourism and related service industries. The next big job creation sectors are financial services and Government Investment.

With some 365 famous beaches, turquoise water, the lush tropical island of Antigua is an inviting paradise and is considered one of the most beautiful landmarks in the world. As a result, tourism is the main economic engine driving GDP growth and generating about 60% of the island's income, with the main target markets being Canada, Europe and the United States.

The government of Antigua & Barbuda's efforts to develop a tourism industry that drives GDP growth is reflected in the US$45 million international airport expansion project, which includes three passenger jet bridges and more than twenty counters procedures, increasing service efficiency and enhancing the high-class service experience for customers. The project helps to increase the number of scheduled flights, and flights between islands. In addition, direct flights to Antigua from London, New York, Miami and Toronto are available regularly.

The currency is the East Caribbean Dollar (ECD), pegged to the USD at 2.70. Antigua is a member of the British Commonwealth, CARICOM, the Organization of American States and the United Nations, among other international organisations. Antigua passport holders are exempted from visa or visa on arrival to 151 countries, including the UK and European Schengen countries.
