The Antigua and Barbuda National Development Fund (NDF) is a non-profit fund established under section 42(2) of the Finance Administration Act 2006 for the purpose of funding government sponsored projects, including public-private partnerships and approved charitable investments. The NDF fund is subject to parliamentary oversight by way of a six monthly report to be presented to Parliament in sufficient detail to allow for transparency and accountability. The fund will also be audited by an internationally recognised accounting firm.
Acquisition of citizenship under the NDF investment option requires a contribution to the National Development Fund in the minimum sum of US$230,000 per application. The contribution is in the form of a one-time payment. The application process is fairly straightforward and application forms can be obtained from a local authorized agent, whom has been licensed by the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU).
