The government of Antigua and Barbuda makes citizenship by investment through real estate easy by pre-approving qualified real estate developments. With many real estate projects to choose from, there is a real estate investment opportunity for everyone to meet their citizenship, residential, and investment needs. 

For those looking into Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investing in real estate, the purchased property must be held onto for at least 5 years to keep one’s passport. This means that investors can seek to make profits through their real estate investment while still maintaining their Antigua and Barbuda citizenship. 

In order to qualify for citizenship, the property must be valued at above $325,000 and approved by the government. Keep in mind this property must be held onto for 5 years in order for citizenship to remain valid.
