Eligibility for Pakistani nationals

Pakistan is not a restricted country for this programme, so Pakistani citizens may apply through the normal process. Applicants must be at least 18, hold a clean criminal record, pass due diligence and show the lawful source of their funds.

Both Pakistan and Antigua and Barbuda permit dual citizenship, so applicants are generally not required to give up their Pakistani passport. Confirm your own position with a licensed professional.

Routes

The main options are a contribution to the National Development Fund, an investment in approved real estate, an investment through the University of the West Indies Fund, or an approved business investment.

Each route carries its own minimum and conditions set by the Citizenship by Investment Unit. The right choice depends on family size and whether you want a fund contribution or a property asset.

Timeline

The authority publishes an indicative processing time, and Antigua and Barbuda is often cited among the faster Caribbean routes. Confirm the current timeline before you plan.

Costs

Beyond the chosen investment there are government processing fees, due diligence fees and passport fees. An oath or affirmation of allegiance and a possible visit may apply. The figures below are indicative.
