Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment is open to applicants of most nationalities, and Brazilian nationals are not on the commonly cited exclusion lists. The programme is run by the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
Applicants must pass due diligence, hold a clean criminal record and show the lawful source of their funds. There is a short physical presence requirement reported at five days within the first five years of becoming a citizen. Confirm your case with the official authority.
There are several qualifying routes. The most used is a contribution to the National Development Fund. Other routes include a qualifying real estate purchase, a contribution to the University of the West Indies Fund and an approved business investment. Confirm the live list of routes with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
Processing follows due diligence and document review, and several months is commonly reported for a complete application. Times vary, so confirm current timelines with the official authority.
The National Development Fund contribution is reported at USD 230,000 for a single applicant or a family of up to four, with a further amount for each additional dependant. The real estate route is reported with a minimum qualifying purchase of USD 300,000 held for five years.
On top of the chosen investment, budget for government processing fees, due diligence fees and passport fees set by the Unit. Treat all figures as indicative and confirm the current schedule with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
