Charmaine Quinland-Donovan, the Chief Executive Officer of Antigua & Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Unit, has reacted to the news that the country’s Citizenship by Investment Program has been ranked third on the Henley Global Citizenship Program Index.
Quinland-Donovan noted that the program received perfect scores in residence requirements and physical visit requirements, and passed in investment requirements, visa-free access, processing time, compliance, and transparency.
“Looking at the various categories being ranked, we see that the five programs in the Eastern Caribbean are similarly positioned. This means that the industry sees much homogeneity across these programs,” Quinland-Donovan stated.
“It, therefore, behooves us to ensure that we have shared values, shared red lines, and shared best practices and standards.”
The Henley Global Citizenship Program Index is a comprehensive ranking of the world’s most popular citizenship-by-investment programs, evaluating various criteria to assess their attractiveness and effectiveness.
