Antigua and Barbuda Population Density

Yearbook 2013

Antigua and Barbuda. During the year, Antigua and Barbuda began selling citizenship in exchange for investment. In October, Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer presented the new Citizenship by Investment program, which had been under investigation for two years. Other countries in the region, such as Dominica and Saint Christopher and Nevis, had already started selling citizenship.

The purpose is to increase foreign investment in the country and thus the number of jobs. According to Countryaah, capital-rich foreigners can choose between different investments, the smallest of which is a contribution of $ 250,000 to Antigua’s development fund. Spencer pointed out that the program does not mean that everyone who can pay gets a passport and citizenship. The authorities make careful checks, he assured.
