Advantages of Citizenship Through Investment from Antigua

▣ One of the most prominent advantages of choosing Antigua as a destination for citizenship through investment is the ability to establish a business in a country full of opportunities, especially since it was recently ranked as the most economically advanced country among all Caribbean and Latin countries, and secondly, to benefit from the CARICOM Treaty that allows tax-free trade between Caribbean countries.

▣ In addition to work and family, the investor always thinks about keeping his assets and money away from prying eyes and the difficult policies of some countries regarding taxes. It must be said that Antigua has one of the friendliest tax systems in the world, as it does not impose any tax on income, capital gains or inheritance, in addition to not sharing your citizenship or assets data with your country of origin or third parties.

▣ Since the method of obtaining citizenship through investment is designed specifically for families, it must be mentioned that in addition to the free scholarships, family members can enjoy the unique nature of Antigua, which is famous for having 365 beaches on its territory, and in the case of a leap year you can travel to every beach during every day of the year.

▣ You can make Antigua your second or first home for you and your family members, as you can add your spouse, children, parents, grandparents and siblings, and you can pass on citizenship to future generations so that they can enjoy discovering all the surrounding Caribbean countries and benefit from free health and education systems in a country with a calm security situation.

▣ We conclude the benefits by saying that the Antigua and Barbuda passport ranks 26th in the world with visa-free access to 143 countries, including China, Britain and the Schengen countries.
