Due Diligence Trip to Antigua

January 2022

As you may know, the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program has been attracting many high net-worth families who are looking for a second citizenship and a strong passport, especially since the beginning of the pandemic, in March 2020.

Last week, TIMC travelled to Antigua for a due diligence trip, to verify how the country, our partners, and the Citizenship by Investment Unit are managing the situation during the pandemic.

Travelling to Antigua

The country has put in place different measures to ensure the continued safety of travelers and residents during Covid-19, from travel protocols to Certified Accommodations for tourists.

Following the entry requirements, we had a smooth travel experience flying from Montreal to Antigua. To learn more about the current measures, please CLICK HERE.

Meeting with partners

Nonsuch Bay

After our arrival at the beautiful Nonsuch Bay Resort, our real estate partner for the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program, we had a great meeting with Mr. Cameron Fraser, Director at Nonsuch Bay. We discussed about how little the pandemic impacted the resort's operations. Indeed, Nonsuch Bay was one of the very few resorts able to control the situation, keeping its vacancy rate very low.

We also had the pleasure to visit the development site of the future resort. With the construction already started, the project seems promising considering the choice of the gorgeous region of Half Moon Bay and the design planning! 

CEO of the Citizenship by Investment Unit

During different meetings, we had the honor to meet with Ms. Charmaine Donovan, CEO of the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) in Antigua & Barbuda.

The CIU has quickly adapted to the pandemic situation since the beginning, bringing more flexibility to the Program's requirements and accelerating the files' processing time.

Local Agent

A visit to our Local Agent was also planned, where we discussed about our great cooperation towards our clients' successful files' application.
