Turkish nationals are eligible to apply for Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment. This page explains the routes, the indicative costs and where to confirm the binding rules.
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.
Turkey is not on any restricted list for this programme, so Turkish nationals can apply on the same basis as most other applicants. The main applicant must be at least 18, hold a clean criminal record and show that the invested funds come from a lawful source.
Since November 2023 the programme requires a virtual interview for main applicants and dependants aged 16 and over. Confirm the current eligibility detail with the Citizenship by Investment Unit before you act.
There are several qualifying options. The National Development Fund contribution is a one time payment to a government fund. Other routes include approved real estate, an investment in an eligible business and a contribution to the University of the West Indies fund for larger families.
Each route carries its own minimum, holding period and conditions. The figures below are indicative only.
Processing time depends on file quality and due diligence. Confirm the current expected timeline with the official authority rather than relying on marketing estimates.
The National Development Fund route requires a minimum contribution of US$230,000 for a family of up to four, as published by the Citizenship by Investment Unit. Government fees, due diligence fees and professional fees are charged on top. See the table for an indicative picture and verify every figure with the authority.
Antigua and Barbuda citizenship is held for life and passed to future generations, subject to the law in force. It offers visa free or visa on arrival access to many destinations, though that list changes over time and should be checked separately.
