The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda wishes to reiterate its positon as it relates to the countries that are not allowed to apply for citizenship under the Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP).
According to a decision by the Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda, at its meeting held on Thursday, 11th December 2014, the Restricted Country List and Current Policy are as follows:
