Adding Newborns to an Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship

When a new child is born into a family that already holds Antigua and Barbuda citizenship, the addition process is straightforward — and time-sensitive. A walkthrough of the steps and the typical timeline.

An infant's hand close-up — the smallest scale of family inclusion in a CBI application.

The Citizenship By Investment Unit (CBIU) of Antigua and Barbuda has announced an update allowing Economic Citizens to add new dependents to their application.

The straightforward process allows Economic Citizens to add a spouse, newborn or existing child, parent or grandparent that meets the criteria of a dependent by simply furnishing the stipulated documents and paying the prescribed fees.

In the case of children 0 – 11 years, provided it is proven that the citizen is the parent, approval of second citizenship is automatic.

A spouse who lives in a country on the Restricted Country List (Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia) does not qualify. Nationals of these countries continue to qualify provided they meet the stated prevailing conditions, which is they live outside their country of nationality and have permanent residency status in Canada, United Kingdom or the United States of America.
