Your Second Passport

A real asset. A Caribbean address. A wider world.

For many buyers, Antigua & Barbuda citizenship is not only about securing a second passport. It is about pairing global mobility with a tangible asset in one of the Caribbean's most desirable real-estate markets.

Sugar Ridge Condos offers buyers the opportunity to explore Antigua CIP real estate through a premium sea-view development in Jolly Harbour — combining lifestyle use, ownership flexibility, and long-term property value with a route that supports Antigua & Barbuda citizenship through approved real estate.

Unlike a contribution-only approach, the real-estate route directs qualifying capital into a property you can own, enjoy, and potentially rent, while still supporting a broader international planning strategy.

Real estate route vs contribution route

Antigua & Barbuda's Citizenship by Investment Programme offers more than one path. Some applicants choose a contribution route, while others prefer approved real estate because it pairs the citizenship process with ownership of a tangible Caribbean asset. Sugar Ridge is designed for buyers who want the potential lifestyle, rental, and long-term ownership benefits of real estate, while working with qualified advisors to structure their application correctly.

All citizenship-related decisions are subject to government approval, due diligence, programme rules, and professional legal advice.

How the Route Works

A clear route through approved real estate

Antigua & Barbuda's Citizenship by Investment Programme includes a real-estate option for applicants purchasing within approved developments. For buyers who already want a Caribbean property, this route can offer a more tangible long-term strategy than a non-refundable contribution.

  • Minimum approved real-estate investment: US$300,000
  • Processing fee for a single applicant: US$10,000
  • Processing fee for a family of up to four: US$20,000
  • Additional government fees and due diligence apply
  • Approved real estate is generally subject to a 5-year holding period
  • Applications remain subject to programme documentation, due diligence, and government approval

Figures current as of May 2026 and subject to programme changes, government approval, due diligence, and professional advice.

What this means for buyers

The citizenship application may be submitted once a binding purchase and sale agreement has been signed for an approved project. Due diligence fees and part of the government processing fee are paid early in the process, with the balance and property completion sums due after approval.

  • Select your preferred residence and ownership structure
  • Review total acquisition costs and programme-related fees
  • Complete the purchase agreement and legal structuring
  • Prepare and submit citizenship documentation through the authorised route
  • Complete due diligence and government review
  • Close, hold, and manage the property in line with the programme requirements

  • Strong lifestyle appeal in Jolly Harbour
  • Rental-use potential with property management options
  • Premium shared amenities and a completed hillside setting
  • Standalone, 2-way, and 3-way ownership structures

Why Real Estate

For some buyers, real estate is the more strategic route

Not every citizenship buyer wants the same thing. For some, a contribution route may be the simplest solution. For others, approved Antigua real estate offers a stronger fit because the capital is directed into an asset rather than a one-time payment.

Use

A premium Caribbean property that can be enjoyed personally as well as held for the long term.

Income

Rental income potential while not in residence, depending on management strategy and occupancy.

Resale

A resaleable asset after the required holding period rather than a one-time sunk cost.

Structure

Flexible ownership and family-planning options alongside citizenship planning.

For buyers who already want Antigua property or an Antigua passport, the citizenship route can become part of a broader ownership strategy rather than a separate expense.

A respected programme in a highly attractive jurisdiction

For qualified buyers, Antigua & Barbuda combines lifestyle appeal with broader global optionality. It remains attractive to families, investors, and internationally minded buyers who want a tangible asset-based route.

ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA PASSPORT
