A Brief Introduction to Antigua & Barbuda
Antigua and Barbuda’s gently sloping coastline and graceful harbours have long lured travellers to Antiguan waters. Landmarks such as Nelson’s Dockyard on English Harbour stand testament to bygone British maritime power in the region.
Today, the islands enjoy a rich culture, abundant wildlife and is renowned for hosting some of the world’s most spectacular sailing regattas. The tropical island boasts over 365 soft, white sand beaches – one, it is said, for every day of the year. For the adventurous, the gentle tide gives way to choppy waters on Atlantic side of the island. In the East, palm-fringed skyline stretches out to meet azure sea as gentle waves crest the horizon. The perfect winter retreat.
Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Program offers quick and simple routes to acquiring citizenship – the country’s Citizenship by Investment Unit currently has an application turnaround time of just 3–4 months. The benefits of Antiguan citizenship include visa-free travel to over 140 countries worldwide including the European Union. With an established track record and application process in place, clients are only required to complete their investment only after receiving approval for their citizenship application.

Our clients' stories
Real Estate Investment in Europe
We would like to express our deepest gratitude on behalf of our entire family. When applying for Montenegrin citizenship through your service, we could hardly believe we would manage to complete everything correctly and on time. Your professionalism and organization helped us gather a huge set of documents in just a few days, even though our paperwork was scattered across three different countries.
Ability to Travel Freely to EU Countries for Russian Citizens
Our main question was how to get visa-free access to Europe for the whole family, including our children and father. We heard that Greece allows parents but does not accept Russian citizens. We had never heard of Vanuatu before, but now we are its citizens with Greek residency. Thank you!
Freedom to Travel in Europe
Thank you, we did it! I didn’t believe we would make it in time, then I doubted it would be approved, and now I have my Grenadian passport!
Freedom of movement
It is clear that this team prioritizes not overburdening the client and always comes forward with ready recommendations.
Immigration with Citizenship Acquisition
I can’t believe it’s been almost 7 years—time just flew by, and now, finally, the passport…
Residence permit for retirees
Obtaining a European residence permit as a retiree in Bulgaria was an unexpected suggestion from Beyond—I didn’t even know it was possible. I decided to take the risk, and I have no regrets.

Very beautiful passports, and as my mom said: blue suits us very well!
