Antigua and Barbuda is an independent Commonwealth state in the Eastern Caribbean. With some 365 beaches of clean turquoise waters, the lush tropical islands of Antigua and Barbuda are an inviting paradise and considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. Tourism drives around 60% of the nation’s GDP, with key markets in the U.S, Canada, and Europe. Antigua & Barbuda is a member of the United Nations, the British Commonwealth, Caricom, and the Organisation of American States (OAS). Passport holders enjoy visa-free travel to approximately 150 countries, including the U.K. and Schengen area. The Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP) was established in 2014 and grants passports valid for 5 years, subject to a residency requirement of 5 days within that period.
