The year-round tropical climate attracts an interesting mix of international citizens, making the country a very comfortable place to integrate. With daily direct air access from North America and Europe and being the hub of elite yachting, Antigua is a crossroads of the world albeit a laid-back natural wonderland.

About Antigua and Barbuda

The favorable growing conditions and plentiful marine life make the country’s culinary experiences fresh and delicious and the abundance of outdoor activities make for a very healthy lifestyle.

It is no surprise a mix of internationally-famous politicians, entertainers, and fashion designers live here in some of the most beautiful homes in the Caribbean. Antigua levies no capital gains or inheritance taxes and there is no tax on income generated outside the country.

These tax benefits make the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program one of the most sought after in the world.

Antigua and Barbuda is a member of the United Nations (UN), British Commonwealth, Caricom and the Organization of American States, among many other international organizations.

Approved property investment

There are some exceptional opportunities for value creation over the medium to long term at the high end of the Caribbean property market and specifically in Antigua.

Over time, high-end vacation villas have proven to be rewarding investments since they are quite resilient to market fluctuations and underpinned by the unprecedented growth of wealth internationally. The Antigua and Barbuda citizenship via property investment route is a superior route for a sophisticated investor in the medium term.

REFRAMED identifies the developers with proven expertise in the region whom we are confident are creating tourism infrastructure with value over and above the citizenship attached to it. The development, location, construction quality, operations team and exit routes are critical evaluation areas that we analyze in detail.

We work directly with the local real estate developers and we will ensure you are presented with all the information about each property so you can make the best decision.

Approved business Investment

Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment offers an opportunity to invest in an approved business in order to qualify for the program.

This investment route allows Antigua to establish renewable energy enterprises and sustainable agriculture alongside with hotel and resort developments which are the foundation of the county’s prosperity and security.

Investors in businesses can benefit from healthy ROI and participation in the profits of the enterprise.

Antigua’s growing economy together with the highest tourism demand in the region, make the business option especially attractive for international entrepreneurs looking for valuable investment opportunities.

Given the explosion of UHNW wealth over the last number of years globally, there has been a corresponding rise in the value of luxury property in desirable destinations and opportunity for significant investment return in this cycle.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Trustindex.  Reframed: unparalleled assistance for our relocation project It is really difficult to find the right words to express the amazement and gratitude for the courtesy, professionalism and availability that we encountered when entrusting ourselves to Mr. Valentino and Mrs. Giovanna. From the first contact, they supported us with extraordinary dedication in our plan to move to Paraguay, providing us with every useful indication and transforming what could have been a complicated move to the other side of the world into a simple and stress-free experience. Their great professionalism in the matter, combined with a network of excellent collaborators on site, has provided us with unparalleled security. But what struck us most was their extraordinary availability and the human warmth with which they treated us. They treated us not only like customers, but I dare say like family, taking us by the hand and guiding us with patience and affection every step of the way. Relying on Reframed does not simply mean having a team of competent and reliable professionals at your disposal, but also finding real travel guides, ready to do everything possible to ensure that every step is taken in the best way. Thank you very much, Valentino and Giovanna, for making all this possible and for always making us feel safe and supported!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Thank you so much for helping my family (three people from Russia) move and process our documents in Paraguay. Everything was handled very quickly and professionally. We had no problems, not even the smallest ones. They provided full support in Paraguay (airport transfers, accommodation rentals, legal support, and 24/7 on-site assistance with all matters). Honestly, we didn't expect such excellent service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I have been living in Florida for about 20 years and after the 2020 the prices of living became extremely high. With my wife we decided to move to Europe and since we both work online we were looking for a country with tax advantages in Europe. After looking for an agency online that can facilitate our move we land to Reframed and did 2 consultations. We came up together with a plan that fit our family goals and the quality of life we want. Both Valentino and Giovanna were extremely professional and they have everything perfectly organized for our relocation from transferring our business, opening a bank account, looking for a home, residency, setting up a discovery trip with a local guide tour to see what is about to live in Portugal and all is necessary for our move in early 2025. I highly recommend Reframed to anybody that is working online and want to move to an European country where to have an excellent quality of life.
