In this article, you will be able to find out about the eligibility requirements for the inclusion of dependents in the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment program. The current standards were announced in 2020, and were received very favorably as “family friendly”. By broadening its ‘dependents’ definition and eligibility for the CBI, Antigua and Barbuda makes clear its efforts in welcoming investors and their families to its beautiful shores. Dependent siblings, grandchildren, and future spouses are also eligible for the CBI application.
