About the Programme
Twin Islands, One Programme
Antigua & Barbuda’s programme is the quickest of the five and the one priced for larger families: the National Development Fund contribution covers a family of four at one figure, and the University of the West Indies fund route covers a family of six or more, with a scholarship place at the university included. The real-estate route buys into approved resort and residential developments on an island of 365 beaches.
It is also the one programme in the region with a residence condition, modest as it is — five days on the islands within the first five years — and an oath of allegiance taken in person or at an embassy. Both are easily met, and both are worth knowing about before an application rather than after.
