Featured Opportunity · Antigua & Barbuda

Two Islands. One Hundred Sixty-Five Doors.

Citizenship in exchange for a qualified investment or contribution. The first passport runs five years; renewing it for a further ten asks only that you spend five days on the islands in that time.

Due diligence is priced at the adult rate: dependents aged 12 to 17 are USD 2,000 each and children under 12 are free, so a household with minors comes in below the figure above. Under the business route the spouse's due-diligence fee is USD 7,500 rather than USD 5,000. Real-estate investments must be held for at least five years, and the University of West Indies donation requires a minimum of six applicants. Passport renewal after five years costs USD 1,000 per adult and USD 500 per dependent. Figures are indicative, non-binding, and confirmed during due diligence.

Application Process

Five Steps to a Caribbean Passport

Select a step to see what happens — and what Bayat Group handles for you.

Step 1 of 5 Handled by Bayat Group

Internal Due Diligence and Qualification Assessment

Bayat Group's compliance team conducts an internal due diligence check — a background security screening of the applicant, preparation of KYC (Know Your Client) documentation, and a qualification assessment against the program's requirements.

Security screening KYC file Qualification check

Internal Due Diligence and Qualification Assessment

Bayat Group's compliance team conducts an internal due diligence check — a background security screening of the applicant, preparation of KYC (Know Your Client) documentation, and a qualification assessment against the program's requirements.

Application Preparation

A tailored list of required documents is prepared. The client signs a retainer agreement with Bayat Group, and every document the application needs is gathered and organised.

Submission, Review, Due Diligence, and Interview

Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria, including the financial requirements and a clean background. Once all original documents reach Bayat Group, our citizenship experts assess the file and prepare it for submission to the Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Unit. The Unit reviews the application and conducts its own due diligence checks, and every applicant attends the mandatory interview — in person or online.

Final Decision, Comfort Letter Issuance, and Making the Qualified Investment

Once the application has been processed and a decision reached, the applicant receives a letter informing them of the outcome. If it is approved, the applicant proceeds with the qualified investment and covers the fees associated with the chosen route.

Certificate of Naturalization and Passport Issuance

On completion of the required contribution or investment, applicants receive a No Objection Certificate confirming the grant of citizenship in Antigua & Barbuda. Bayat Group then applies for the passports on the client's behalf.
