Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Antigua and Barbuda runs a citizenship by investment programme overseen by the Citizenship by Investment Unit. There is no nationality bar specific to Egypt in the published rules, so Egyptian applicants are generally eligible, subject to background and source of funds checks.
All applications must be filed through a locally licensed agent. Confirm current eligibility, document requirements and any interview rules with the Citizenship by Investment Unit before you commit.
There are several qualifying options. The most used is a contribution to the National Development Fund. Other routes include a qualifying real estate purchase, an approved business investment, and a contribution to the University of the West Indies Fund, each with its own conditions.
A virtual interview applies to applicants above a set age. Confirm which route and conditions fit your situation.
Processing is commonly quoted in several months from a complete application, with timelines depending on due diligence and document readiness. Treat any quoted figure as indicative and confirm with the authority.
The National Development Fund contribution was raised in August 2024. Government, due diligence, processing and passport fees sit on top of the headline contribution. Use the table as an indicative starting point and verify current figures.
