Antigua and Barbuda is a twin-island nation located between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. With a rich culture and a member of the Commonwealth, it is estimated that about 4,500 U.S. citizens own a home on the two islands, making it one of the largest American settlements in the English-speaking Eastern Caribbean. Tourism is the largest sector in Antigua and Barbuda, accounting for about half of the country's GDP. Other industries include construction, communications, banking, and financial services.
As a way to fund its national projects, the government of Antigua and Barbuda launched different citizenship-by-investment programs in 2013 that enable foreign investors to obtain the Antigua and Barbuda passport or become a citizen of Caribbean country. The Antigua CBI programs include:
Option 1: Antigua and Barbuda National Transformation Fund
Under Antigua and Barbuda’s National Transformation Fund, investors are required to donate a minimum of $100,000 to the state fund.
See the breakdown of the investment amount below
| Single Applicant | US $100,000 |
| Main applicant and Spouse | US $100,000 |
| Family up to 4 members | US $100,000 |
| Family of 5 members of more | US $125,000 |
