RIF Trust on Antigua and Barbuda Passport Power
Leila Bagheri is RIF Trust’s Caribbean Citizenship by Investment expert. She is intrinsically aware that HNWIs want to know the likes of Antigua and Barbuda visa-free countries before committing to a second citizenship there.
Our Caribbean CBI specialist clarifies: “As RIF Trust’s Passport Index establishes, “the passport rank combines the number of visa-free, visa-on-arrival, and eVisa countries.””
“So, as you’ll see with the Antigua and Barbuda Passport Ranking, there are 2 totals for Antigua and Barbuda visa-free countries. The first is the cumulative total and the second purely visa-free countries. The fact that Antigua and Barbuda is the 19th strongest travel document in the world offers a compelling argument to apply for the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment program.”
Leila ends this intro with: “In this article, you will receive the complete picture regarding the Antigua and Barbuda passport, revealing the countries you can travel to without a visa, the ones requiring a visa on arrival, destinations calling for an eVisa, and those you need to request a visa in advance.”

The Residency and Citizenship by Investment Second Passport Alternatives Part 1
Sure, the 162 Antigua and Barbuda passport visa-free countries are going to make your business and leisure travel easier. However, there are other passports you can invest in through a new residency or second citizenship. You will have to weigh up the pros and cons involving program cost, processing time, and length of naturalization.
The beauty of Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment is that it is a direct citizenship program. After 6-12 months processing time, you become an Antigua and Barbuda national and eligible for the country’s passport. Another draw is the minimum $230,000 donation to the National Development Fund that represents the program’s threshold.
However, there are stronger Caribbean passports available through investment. The St Kitts and Nevis passport is the world’s 16th ranked travel document, allowing you to travel to a combined 166 visa-free destinations. Yet you will have to pay more for the privilege, as the least you can invest in the St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment program is $250,000.
RCBI Second Passport Alternatives Part 2
Invest a minimum €600,000 in a Maltese passport by way of Maltese Exceptional Investor Naturalization (MEIN) and you’ll be able to access 176 visa-free countries thanks to securing the 8th strongest travel document in the world. The 7th-placed Canadian passport (177 visa-free countries) becomes available after 5 years of naturalization as a resident, having invested in the C$275,000 Canada Start-up Visa.
In joint 6th position is the UK passport and the US passport with a ranking of 178/199. Again, naturalize for 5 years to become a citizen with either the £200,000-priced UK Innovator Founder Visa or the $800,000 US EB-5 Investor Visa.
The joint 3rd travel documents in our Passport Index are the Greek passport and the Portuguese passport, enabling you to visit 181 visa-free destinations. The €250,000 Greek Golden Visa leads to Greek citizenship following 7 years of naturalization while it takes 5 years after applying for the €325,000 Portuguese Golden Visa to become a Portuguese national.
Yet it’s the Spanish passport that is the most powerful travel document in the world, guaranteeing visa-free arrival to 183 countries. You will need to naturalize for 10 years (reduced to 2 if you’re from Latin America or the Philippines). Join the rush for the €350,000 Spanish Golden Visa by applying by Wednesday, April 2, 2025 as the program will terminate the next day.
