Antigua and Barbuda expands dependant of main applicant to future spouse, future children, grand children, future daughter or son In-law
Today, Antigua and Barbuda announced that the entire family now qualifies for Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment (CBI). Application fees for adult dependents and children dependents have also been considerably reduced.
