The Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) is responsible for processing all applications and performing strong due diligence checks. Once your application has been approved, any applicants over 16 years old will be required to attend mandatory virtual interviews.
The government approval process takes, on average, around 16 weeks from the moment you submit your application to the issuance of your passport — which can then be collected in Antigua and Barbuda to fulfill your residency requirement of five days during the first five years of obtaining citizenship.
The short answer is yes; you can get an Antigua passport while keeping your current citizenship. Antigua and Barbuda has legislation recognizing dual citizenship.
However, you should be aware that not all countries recognize dual citizenship, and the country where you're already a citizen might not allow you to become a citizen elsewhere. You can check if your country allows dual citizenship here. If it doesn't, the only option to diversify your citizenship portfolio and hold multiple passports would be to renounce your current citizenship.
The passport obtained through Antigua and Barbuda's citizenship by investment program is initially issued with 5-year validity and can be renewed by paying a $350 fee. You must have fulfilled your 5 days residency requirement before renewing your passport for the first time.
The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda, at its meeting held on 11th December 2014, agreed that citizens of Antigua and Barbuda under the Citizenship by Investment program shall not be allowed to change their name via Deed Poll or any other means for the issuance of the Antigua and Barbuda passport.
