RIF Trust on How to Pledge Allegiance to Antigua and Barbuda in the UAE

In order to qualify for Citizenship by Investment in Antigua and Barbuda, you and your family need to make oaths to Antigua and Barbuda.

RIF Trust’s Caribbean citizenship specialist Leila Bagheri explains: “The concept of pledging allegiance is not unique to Antigua and Barbuda. For example, the naturalization ceremonies in the US are legendary.”

Our Caribbean citizenship expert expands: “To receive the benefits of Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment, you have to meet all of the requirements.”

“One of the final conditions to fulfill is for you and your adult dependents to make oaths to Antigua and Barbuda, and the Caribbean country will shortly be coming to the UAE so that investors and their families based in the United Arab Emirates don’t have to travel far to become nationals.”

The Scheduling of Taking Oaths to Antigua and Barbuda in the United Arab Emirates

Ordinarily, there are 12 places you can affirm your citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda. They are as follows:

  1. In Antigua and Barbuda
  2. In Canada
  3. In Cuba
  4. In Greece
  5. In Japan
  6. In Jordan
  7. In Lebanon
  8. In Morocco
  9. In Spain
  10. In the UK
  11. In the US
  12. Online

On Monday, November 25, 2024, we received a Notice from the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Unit. It features the signature of the unit’s CEO, Charmaine Donovan.

This Notice informs licensed agents “that the Non-Resident Ambassador to the UAE will be available to execute oath ceremonies from 9th to 14th December, 2024.”

In order to confirm your attendance at one of these ceremonies where new citizens swear oaths to Antigua and Barbuda, RIF Trust will communicate the following to Charmaine Donovan’s organization:

  • Your application number
  • Names of everybody over 18 included on your application
  • Your country of residence and travel itinerary should you be arriving from outside the UAE

There are 3 last considerations to observe:

  1. If you reside in a jurisdiction that houses an Overseas Mission of Antigua and Barbuda, you will not receive permission to cross borders to swear your oath at another Mission
  2. Dates the Non-Resident Ambassador will visit the UAE to execute oath ceremonies in 2025 will be announced once finalized
  3. You will still need to spend 5 days in Antigua and Barbuda within your first 5 years as a Antigua and Barbuda national

When can you swear an oath to Antigua and Barbuda in the UAEi in 2024?
