Antigua and Barbuda Introduces New Digital Nomad Residence Program.

Battling a viral pandemic has altered the day-to-day lifestyle for many around the globe. And although we saw the closing of worldwide borders, we also witnessed the opening of a new, remote way of life thanks to the transformative power of technology.

This transition has been reflective within the CIP industry as well, as many governments including Antigua and Barbuda are adopting new measures to ensure the continuation of their activities, with an increased use of video conferencing, secure file transferring, documentation review, and introducing innovate programs to appeal to the new wave of global citizens.

Making most of this momentum, Antigua and Barbuda is also expected to unveil a new ‘Digital Nomad’ Residency Program, similar to that launched by Barbados and Estonia, that welcomes qualified individuals and their families to work remotely from the beautiful twin-island state. With one of the Caribbean’s most popular citizenship by investment programs, Antigua and Barbuda’s new Digital Nomad program is certain to attract attention.

With an expected fee of US$ 300 for the first applicant, US$ 200 for a spouse and US$ 100 for each dependent, Digital Nomad residents can live anywhere around the breathtaking islands of Antigua and Barbuda for a period of 2 years.

Home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches – and with strong Wi-Fi and internet coverage across the islands, Digital Nomad residents of Antigua and Barbuda will have the opportunity to enjoy the ease of life in paradise while running their businesses, communicating with loved ones, and even attending classes and seminars entirely online.

Antigua and Barbuda has also been praised for its timely and thorough response to the pandemic, resulting in a safe and healthy environment for their citizens and residents with a well-equipped Infectious Diseases Clinic run by trained health professionals and experienced medical personnel.
