Apply For Citizenship by Investment for a Family of Six or More
The Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment program gives families with six or more people the quickest way to become citizens. There is no limit to how many people can apply. Siblings, children, parents, and grandparents can all apply under one family application.
Through the University of the West Indies Donation Fund (UWI), Antigua and Barbuda offers the cheapest way to become a citizen of any Caribbean country. This saves families a lot of money. This choice is only open to families with six people or more.
Applicants to the Citizenship by Investment program who choose this choice will have to invest US$150,000 for a family of six (6) or more (the minimum number of people per application is six). UWI also lets one family member get a tuition-only scholarship for one year at the University of the West Indies if they choose this choice.
Government Contribution to the University of the West Indies (UWI) Fund
A. For a family of six:-
- Contribution of US$150,000, which includes handling fees
B. Family with 7 people or more:
- US$150,000 Fees for Processing Contributions:
- US$15,000 for each extra child
NDF vs UWI fund
Antigua CIP has two different giving funds: NDF and UWI. They are not the same thing. Many people who want to get citizenship through the CBI don’t know that the UWI fund is only for families of six or more and is cheaper than asking for citizenship through the National Development Fund (NDF).
We looked at how much it would cost for a family of seven to become citizens of Antigua. This included the main candidate, his or her spouse, three children under 10 years old, and two parents. The UWI will save you USD 35,000 in government fees.
- USD 225,100 was given to the NDF.
- UWI Fund: USD 190,100
The average time to process an application is 3 months.
