Is It Right?

Antigua & Barbuda sets great store on the due diligence it claims to carry out before issuing a passport to a foreign national.

The Government of Antigua & Barbuda and its Citizenship by Investment Agency strenuously declare this to be the case.

They claim that Antigua & Barbuda passports are only issued after a substantial investment in Antigua or Barbuda is made by an applicant and following the most thorough and stringent checks of eligibility and suitability is performed by the tiny independent dual nation.

So why do people NEED a second passport? The answer is very few do NEED one. Such need could arise to escape persecution, or because their nation state refuses to issue one to them. Some claim the NEED arises to facilitate diplomatic assignments.
