A New Gateway to Global Mobility: Antigua and Barbuda and UAE Forge Historic Visa-Free Travel Agreement

In today’s interconnected world, global mobility is more than convenience, it is opportunity. The ability to cross borders freely unlocks trade, investment, education, and cultural exchange. In a historic move that embodies this spirit of openness, Antigua and Barbuda and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have signed a transformative Visa Waiver Agreement, opening a new chapter of diplomatic and economic partnership.

This milestone is not just about travel it is about trust, cooperation, and new possibilities for citizens and investors alike. And for those seeking to leverage these benefits, the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Programme (CBI), guided by trusted partners like Dual Luxury World, is the clearest path forward.

A Diplomatic Milestone on the World Stage

The signing took place on the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York—an intentional setting that highlighted the global significance of this agreement.

The ceremony was witnessed by ambassadors and senior officials, underscoring the importance of this agreement. Minister Greene called it “a major step in our diplomatic relations,” noting the opportunities it will bring in tourism, education, trade, and beyond.

Beyond Travel – A Foundation of Partnership

This agreement builds upon years of collaboration. The UAE has been a key development partner for Antigua and Barbuda, most notably through the UAE-Caribbean Renewable Energy Fund (UAE-CREF), an  initiative supporting renewable energy projects across the Caribbean.

The Green Barbuda Project stands out as a shining example, delivering hybrid solar power, reducing energy costs, and enhancing climate resilience. This kind of partnership reflects not only diplomacy but also tangible progress for communities.

The Implications – Unlocking Opportunity

For citizens of Antigua and Barbuda, this agreement means:

  • Business & Investment Access: Seamless entry into the UAE—one of the world’s top hubs for finance, trade, and innovation.
  • Education & Culture: Easier opportunities for study and cultural exchange in a dynamic global destination.
  • Stronger Passport Power: Antigua and Barbuda’s passport now opens doors to 150+ destinations visa-free or visa-on-arrival.

For the nation, the benefits include:

  • Tourism Growth: Attracting high-net-worth visitors from the UAE and GCC region.
  • Economic Diversification: Encouraging Emirati investment in real estate, fintech, and agriculture.
  • Global Positioning: Strengthening Antigua and Barbuda’s reputation as a forward-thinking, globally connected nation.

The Investor’s Pathway – Why This Matters for You

For international investors and high-net-worth individuals, this development supercharges the value of the Antigua and Barbuda CBI Programme.
