Antigua & Barbuda has seen a dramatic 95 per cent decline in the most popular stream of its citizenship-by-investment program after Canada withdrew visa-free access to passport holders in June 2017.
\n
\nThe Caribbean island will cut the investment threshold for its National Development Fund (NDF) in half \u2013 from $200,000 to $100,000 \u2013 to try and stimulate interest from high net worth candidates.
\nA representative of the country\u2019s Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) told the country\u2019s Daily Observer newspaper that access to Canada was previously \u2018the country\u2019s most compelling advantage\u2019. Without that access, the Antigua citizenship program<\/a> is left to compete entirely based on investment threshold.
\nOpposition lawmakers say slashing the threshold will result in the destruction of the program.<\/p>\n
