The beginning of the global economic downturn triggered by the pandemic last year has accelerated a growing feeling of uncertainty about the future. International investors and business people therefore have rushed to apply for Citizenship by Investment Programs. Allowing them to obtain a second passport / citizenship for their family, these programs also help them diversify their assets into another currency. This holistic strategy remains an excellent way to withstand global uncertainties and any other crisis that may arise in the future.

There are different investment programs around the world for obtaining a second citizenship and passport. The Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program particularly stands out  for the following reasons:

Since the economic slowdown resulting from the pandemic in March 2020, a large majority of business people and investors have taken this forced time away from their regular business activities to think about their financial and family's future.

Growing global uncertainties have accelerated their decision-making process, and many have opted for a holistic approach that will protect their assets and secure their family's future in the long term, for generations to come.

Located in the Caribbean, Antigua and Barbuda attracts tourists from all over the world in search of an unforgettable holiday: cruise, sailing, scuba diving, cricket and golf, romantic getaway, rest on a bright white sand beach and turquoise water, carnival show, etc.

Apart from the undeniable touristic attraction of this country, it is the acquisition of a villa in Antigua that encourage affluent families to become more and more interested in this Caribbean gem: indeed, buying a luxury property approved by Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program allows these families to apply for a passport enabling them to travel to more than 130 countries without a visa, while enjoying a peaceful place for their vacation or a potential rental income.

An increasing number of wealthy individuals seek to obtain a second nationality through a program of citizenship by investment, as a means to safeguard their future.

The world feels like a very different place today than it did even just six months ago, and it can be incredibly difficult to predict where the geopolitical scene is heading in the future. Conventional wisdom, after all, didn't accurately predict Brexit and the European Union's uncertain future, nor did the media correctly assess the political movement that elected Donald Trump in November 2016.  

In today's uncertain economic times, taking proactive steps to preserve not only your own future but that of your children is always a top priority. One of the single best way to do this comes by way of a more holistic approach: acquiring a real estate property in the Caribbean. Buying a property in the Caribbean in particular brings with it a host of different advantages that you won't find anywhere else.
