Antigua and Barbuda have created an “expansive definition of ‘dependents,’ which can include children up to age 30, spouses, parents, grandparents, and unmarried siblings,” Latitude Residency & Citizenship service reports.
Latitude posted a video interview with two of the country’s top Citizenship by Investment (CBI) officials, CEO Charmaine Quinland-Donovan and Ambassador Jeffrey Hadeed.
In the interview, Quinland-Donovan says, “Whereas you’re not able to pass [citizenship] on by descent, you’re able to add your parents, your spouse, your children, the spouses of your children, and your siblings… so five generations.”
“She clarified that for children beyond a certain age, applicants must demonstrate financial dependence. Also, the constitution does not allow ‘registration’ citizenship to be automatically passed down by descent, but families can keep adding eligible relatives—even newly born children—after the principal applicant secures approval,” according to the report.
