All four caribbean citizenship by investment programs have raised the minimum investment requirement to $200,000 or more, effective from July 1, 2024 with the exception of Antigua and Barbuda, in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) among the Member States of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States offering Citizenship by Investment Programmes. The MOA which was signed in March 2024 aims to ensure mutual cooperation, information sharing and adherence to common standards of best practice, and regulatory oversight in all the signatory countries.
Antigua will be delaying until July 30, pending parliamentary approval to approve the CIP legislation. St.Kitts and Nevis was the first country to raise the minimum investment to $250,000 in Jun 30, 2023.
“Antigua and Barbuda underscored our commitment to the MOA, and advised of an inability to complete the required parliamentary approval process by the stated deadline”, said the CIU Unit in a memo sent to stakeholders.
