Currently at least 5 days in Antigua and Barbuda during the first five calendar years after citizenship, according to the CIU. The Government has cited the strengthening of the residency requirement by legislation, and a Citizenship by Investment (Amendment) Bill 2026 was listed for first reading in the House of Representatives on 16 June 2026; its passage has not been confirmed in an official source. The ECCIRA Agreement Act 2025 sets 30 days in aggregate for applications made once the regional agreement applies. Confirm the rule for your application date with the licensed agent before filing.

Botswana Impact Citizenship

• The Impact Citizenship programme is not open for applications. In February 2026 the Ministry of Labour and Home Affairs told Parliament that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2025 would come into effect once its Regulations were completed. A commencement order (Statutory Instrument No. 38 of 2026) was among the papers sent to Parliament for its July to August 2026 meeting, but its text is not published online, so this page does not state whether the Act is in force. No investment amount, fee or application procedure had been published by any Botswana government source as of 20 October 2026.
• The USD 75,000 to 90,000 advertised by the registration website run by Arton Capital is not confirmed by any Botswana regulation or government statement; in December 2025 the responsible Minister told Parliament he was not in a position to state the amount.
• This page's description of the amended Citizenship Act's dual-citizenship provision rests on Botswana media reporting of a ministerial statement, not an independently fetched copy of the Act's current text.

Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship

• Since 1 January 2026, US Presidential Proclamation 10998 (signed 16 December 2025) has suspended entry of Antigua and Barbuda nationals as immigrants and as nonimmigrants on B-1, B-2, B-1/B-2, F, M and J visas, and directs shorter validity for other nonimmigrant visas. It cites citizenship by investment without residency. Antigua and Barbuda is also included in the US Visa Bond Program, which the United States made permanent in August 2026; in January 2026 the Government said the bond applied only to a narrow category of new visitor visa applicants who qualify under limited exceptions.
• Under the current rule, citizenship may be withdrawn if the citizen does not spend at least 5 days in Antigua and Barbuda during the first five calendar years, with no repayment of the investment.
• The presence rule may change. The Government has cited the strengthening of the residency requirement by legislation (2 August 2026), and a Citizenship by Investment (Amendment) Bill 2026 was listed for first reading in the House of Representatives on 16 June 2026 (Cabinet notes of 10 June 2026); its passage has not been confirmed in an official source. For applications made once the regional agreement applies, the ECCIRA Agreement Act 2025 (No. 18 of 2025) requires at least 30 days of presence in the first five calendar years, which the family can count together, and at least 5 days for each person in the first 12 months; adds an integration programme that may include an interview; and issues passports for 5 years, renewable for 10 only once the CIU certifies that the presence and integration requirements have been met. The Act takes effect on a date set by Ministerial Order.
• In a letter dated 25 June 2026, the European Commission formally asked Antigua and Barbuda to phase out its citizenship-by-investment programme by 1 June 2028, under the EU's revised visa suspension mechanism. Schengen visa-free access is not suspended, and the government has said the programme will continue.
• Real estate bought under the programme cannot be resold within five years of purchase, except into another approved property.
• Requirements, fees and processing estimates can change.

• Decreto (DNU) 366/2025, which created the investment route and the Agency, has been challenged in court. On 18 June 2026 a federal appeals court (Sala III, Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones en lo Civil y Comercial Federal) held it unconstitutional, as regards moving naturalisation from the courts, in one applicant's case and returned her request to a federal judge. On 30 June 2026 the Cámara Nacional Electoral declared the decree null in another applicant's case and told the Ministry of Security to instruct the National Directorate of Migration accordingly. Neither ruling examined the investment route itself, although the decree the Cámara Nacional Electoral declared null is the one that created it. The second case is reported to be before the Supreme Court.
• The government bond ties up US$800,000; its terms have not been published, and press reports say it must be held for seven years and pays no interest. Advisers note that a lower entry price does not make a route the right one without comparing liquidity and opportunity cost.
• Requirements, fees and processing estimates can change.
