The Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) wishes to advise that Cabinet on Saturday 29th October, 2016, noted the recommendation of the CIU, proposing that applications from Iranians be accepted for citizenship by investment from Iranians who meet the following criteria:

  1. Have permanent resident status or other long term visa in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States or a jurisdiction with which Antigua and Barbuda has visa free entry arrangements.
  2. Have resided outside of Iran for at least three (3) years prior to the application for citizenship by investment.
  3. Demonstrate that the funds to be invested in Antigua and Barbuda were substantially earned outside of Iran.

Please be guided accordingly.

Sincerely,
Thomas Anthony
Deputy Chief Executive Officer
