Antigua & Barbuda operates a government Citizenship by Investment programme administered by the Citizenship by Investment Unit (cip.gov.ag). Legitimacy of a specific application depends on compliance and due diligence. This page is information, not legal advice.
Domestic law generally allows revocation for fraud or other disqualifying grounds. pass2port marks the precise statutory revocation text as verifying until cited section-by-section against official Antigua & Barbuda sources.
The NDF donation floor is US$230,000; approved real estate is US$300,000 and adds a holding period (cip.gov.ag schedule-of-fees, 2026-07-31). pass2port does not recommend a route — compare the official fee schedule.
Not directly, and not from pass2port. A passport itself is never for sale — the government programme grants citizenship through the CIU after an application, a mandatory due-diligence review, and a qualifying NDF contribution or real-estate investment; the passport document follows once citizenship is approved. Apply only through an authorised agent listed on cip.gov.ag — pass2port does not sell, broker, or facilitate applications.
