Would you like to travel to Canada and Schengen zone countries without visas? If you do, you should ‘buy’ a second passport of Antigua and Barbuda. The Caribbean country offers one of the most affordable and most reliable citizenship-by-investment programs. In exchange for a comparatively modest investment, foreign nationals can significantly extend their travel opportunities within a short time.
Antigua and Barbuda is indicated in red on the map, visa-free destinations for Serbians in dark green, countries providing visa-on-arrival opportunities in light green, countries that Antiguans can enter on electronic visas in turquoise, and countries that require visas in gray.
Passport of Antigua and Barbuda: a perfect instrument for travelers
We live in the epoch of the Internet and globalization. An ability to move around the world fast is a prerequisite for business success. At the same time, businesspeople from some countries face troubles when traveling to foreign countries. The troubles are attributable to the ‘weakness’ of their passports. If you are not allowed to enter the country or if you are detained at the border, serious monetary losses might follow.
Against the background of the political situation fluctuation, many wealthy entrepreneurs working globally decide to acquire second passports. They choose a country of good repute whose passport guarantees minimal visa-related restrictions when traveling around the world.
The weakest passport in the world is an Afghani passport: it gives visa-free access only to 25 countries. But some larger and much more prosperous countries are not doing much better. For example, Indian and Chinese passports are also rather weak. You can overcome this problem with ease, however, by ‘buying’ a strong passport. You can obtain economic citizenship of a foreign country without even paying a personal visit there.
One of the best options as far as the price to quality ratio is concerned is economic citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda. With an Antiguan passport, you can visit more than 150 countries without visas (or obtain a visa on arrival).
Your passport is not going to be in any way different from passports of native Antiguans if you ‘buy’ citizenship of the country. This travel document has been among 30 strongest passports for many years already.
List of visa-free destinations for citizens of Antigua and Barbuda
Officially, the opportunity to acquire Antiguan citizenship in exchange for an investment is referred to as ‘accelerated naturalization’. Essentially, you can ‘buy’ an Antiguan passport. We must note at this point that you don’t have to say ‘goodbye’ to your money: you can qualify for citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda if you purchase real property in the country. You can sell the property back after a few years and keep your Antiguan passport.
Antigua and Barbuda is a member of CARICOM and the British Commonwealth of Nations. Membership in these organizations allow Antiguans to freely travel to any Caribbean country and to all former British colonies. However, an Antiguan passport brings other important bonuses too.
