Citizenship by Investment
Antigua and Barbuda
Attractive climate for both people and tax, a favoured tourist destination
The number of savvy investors considering Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship- by-Investment is ever increasing.
With a pleasant year-round climate, average air temperatures ranging between 25 and 28 Celsius, and sea temperatures reaching 29 Celsius, these lush tropical islands are considered among the most beautiful places in the world to travel and live. Tourism is the dominant source of income–generating around 60% of the islands’ GDP.
With a reputation for judicial and governmental stability, today, Antigua and Barbuda passport holders can enjoy visa-free travel to 151 countries, including the European Schengen Area, the UK, South Africa, Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as enjoying the privileges associated with citizenship of a Caricom country.
What’s more, Antigua operates an attractive personal tax regime with no capital gains or inheritance taxes, and no tax on foreign-sourced income, relying instead on corporation and sales tax. With all of this in mind, there’s never been a better time to consider applying for an Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship-by-Investment programme.
