Planning the five-day visit early, and Antigua & Barbuda citizenship

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Fergus Wu, Co-founder & Chief Immigration Consultant

Summary

Ms Lo’s Antigua & Barbuda citizenship experience. She wanted second passports for the family.

Background

Ms Lo, from Hong Kong, applied with her husband and one child. She wanted second passports for the family.

Main concern

She wasn’t sure what was required after gaining citizenship.

Our approach

We reminded her that Antigua requires five days’ visit in total in the first five years, and helped plan the trip.

Process and outcome

She received citizenship and passports in about 6 months.

Adviser’s comment

Post-citizenship requirements matter too; knowing them in advance avoids problems later.

Antigua & Barbuda citizenship application process

  1. Assessment and choice of route (1–2 weeks): We compare the donation and real estate routes.
  2. Documents (1–2 months): Prepare identity, source-of-funds and background documents.
  3. Application and due diligence (Several months): Apply through an authorised agent and undergo due diligence.
  4. Payment and passport (After approval): Complete payment and receive your certificate of citizenship and passport.
