Antigua and Barbuda Passport

Antigua and Barbuda passports, CARICOM passports issued to citizens of Antigua and Barbuda for international travel, offer biometric features for enhanced security and streamlined cross-border procedures. Holders of these passports enjoy global mobility, granting access to nearly 150 countries and territories worldwide.
Passport Validity
1. First-time passports issued to economic citizens are valid for five years, ensuring that the economic citizen fulfils residence and travel requirements.
2. Second-time passport validity depends on the holder’s age. For individuals aged 16 or older, passports are valid for 10 years. For children under 16, passports are valid for five years.

Passport Application Process

The passport application process operates separately from the citizenship by investment process and requires specific documents. The presentation of a certified copy of the Certificate of Registration, issued at the end of the citizenship by investment process, is mandatory. For passport renewals, the old passport must be submitted and will be cancelled upon issuance of the new one.

Antigua and Barbuda’s citizenship by investment application process comprises seven steps:

Step 1: Application and Pre-approval by CS Global Partners

Your application will be meticulously reviewed, ensuring compliance with conditions, to maximize its acceptance potential.

Step 4: Approval in Principle

Upon approval in principle, you will receive an official letter from the CIU confirming your citizenship grant.

Step 5: Make Your Investment Choice

Submit all necessary documentation, make qualifying investments, and settle government fees.

Step 6: Citizenship Certificate Issued

Upon completion of the preceding steps, you will receive a citizenship certificate, officially inducting you as an Antigua and Barbuda citizen.

Step 7: Passport Application

You can now apply for an Antigua and Barbuda passport, unlocking the benefits of international travel.
