About Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship By Investment

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.

Client Success Stories

In addition to their extensive legal knowledge of the local jurisdiction, they are responsive, accessible, professional, friendly, honest and, above all, know us and our business well enough to provide a highly personalized touch throughout their legal services.

They are not a ‘payment first, question later’ type of firm and it was the main factor that impressed me the most. From the first appointment, I knew our case is in capable hands and it was handled very well by their attorneys and staff.

Choosing a Law firm to act on your behalf requires much trust, professionalism and care, with Al Kabban & Associates you receive that genuinely.

Wadih Haddad, Founder and CEO of The Box ME

Their ability to execute in a practical and pragmatic manner I believe is their biggest strength. By covering technical loopholes and paying attention to the legal details is what distinguishes them from any other law firm. As my late father used to say: I never felt safe before I knew Al Kabban.
