Affirming your Antigua and Barbuda citizenship: Oath of Allegiance

Bahamian Citizenship by Investment

Congratulations! Your Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment application has been approved.

Now, the last step: taking the Oath of Allegiance to Antigua and Barbuda. Affirming your citizenship is necessary before issuing your citizenship certificate and granting your passport.

You can take the oath or affirmation of allegiance upon your first visit to Antigua and Barbuda, at an embassy or consulate, or online.

What is the Oath of Allegiance to Antigua and Barbuda?

When you take the Oath of Allegiance to Antigua and Barbuda, you are officially declaring allegiance to the sovereign state and its people.

This is a solemn and legally binding commitment to support and uphold the laws and ideals upon which the nation is built. Not just a legal requirement, this oath represents a spiritual union with the country's culture, history, and future.

Antigua and Barbuda's Citizenship by Investment program requires applicants to take the Oath of Allegiance as a part of securing citizenship, marking a profound and personal transition.

Understanding what the Oath entails is crucial to appreciating the significance of your actions and the new responsibilities you undertake.

Rights and Responsibilities of Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship

Upon affirming citizenship, you secure the rights to vote, access state education and healthcare, travel more freely, and participate in a range of economic and social activities within the country.

However, citizenship also mandates adherence to the nation's laws and customs, contributing positively to the national community, and defending the country if required.

Completing the Oath

The process of completing the Oath of Allegiance is straightforward and typically involves affirming before an authorized officer that you will fulfill the duties of citizenship.

For some, this once-in-a-lifetime event is orchestrated locally through a consulate or embassy, while for others, it requires a dedicated trip to the island itself.

The choice, in many respects, is yours to make, aligning with your personal circumstances and the way in which you envision this ceremonial moment.

Affirming Your Citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda Online

In an age where the digital realm is an integral part of our daily lives, the ability to affirm your citizenship online brings a level of convenience and accessibility that is truly pioneering.

If you have secured your Antigua and Barbuda citizenship with CitizenX, our team will walk you step-by-step through your oath.

If the Antigua and Barbuda CBI Unit allows your citizenship to be affirmed online, our platform will automatically generate an AB11 Form (the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Oath of Allegiance Form), which allows you to swear your oath of allegiance from anywhere in the world.

Then, we will arrange a secure online video-conference where an Antigua and Barbuda officer will help you swear your Oath of Allegiance.

Where to Affirm Your Citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda in Person

While affirming citizenship online is a modern marvel, some seekers of dual citizenship prefer and may be required to affirm their pledge in person.

Your first option should be affirming your Antigua citizenship in Antigua, as you need to visit the country anyways to fulfill your 5 days in 5 years residency requirement.

However, Antigua and Barbuda, respecting both tradition and personal preference, provides the opportunity for individuals to do just that at locations spanning the globe — from Antigua and other Caribbean islands to Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

The process of affirming your Antigua and Barbuda citizenship in person is a momentous occasion, typically conducted during a formal ceremony or in the presence of a consular officer.

This personal touch is symbolic of the program's commitment to individual journeys and the celebration of new members joining the Antigua and Barbuda community.
