Citizenship, residency and investment solutions for individuals and families who want to choose where they live, travel and invest.
Who we are
JDW Consulting Ltd. is a licensed Citizenship by Investment agent based in St. John's, Antigua. We advise individuals, families and their legal and financial advisers on citizenship, residency and investment across the Eastern Caribbean.
We are not a call centre or an online portal. Every client works directly with the people who will handle their file, from the first conversation through to the issue of a passport — and afterwards, on banking, travel and further investment.
Citizenship programmes
Each of these is a statutory programme established by an independent government, with its own qualifying investments, dependant rules and timelines. We advise across all five and are a licensed agent for Antigua & Barbuda.
JDW's home programme, and the one the firm is licensed to represent. Four qualifying routes, and the only Caribbean programme with a dedicated university fund option built for larger families.
Explore programmeThe oldest citizenship by investment programme in the world, established in 1984, and consistently among the strongest Caribbean passports for travel access.
Explore programmeA long-established programme with a contribution route and approved real estate developments, on an island positioning itself around sustainability and eco-tourism.
Explore programmeThe only Caribbean citizenship programme whose holders may apply for the United States E-2 Investor Visa, under Grenada's treaty with the USA.
Explore programmeThe most recently established of the five Eastern Caribbean programmes, with a national economic fund route and approved real estate and enterprise projects.
Explore programmeWhy JDW
JDW Consulting Ltd. is named in the Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Unit's register of licensed agents. You can verify that directly with the government, and we would encourage you to.
You deal with the same advisers throughout. Files are not passed between departments, and nothing about your circumstances is handled by someone who has not spoken to you.
Programme selection, documentation, due diligence, submission, investment and approval. We prepare the file and manage the process with the Unit.
We work across five sovereign programmes and know how each one treats dependants, timelines, source of funds and approved developments.
Our clients hold assets and obligations across several jurisdictions. Advice is given in that context, alongside your existing advisers.
Client matters are handled discreetly. We do not publish client names, and we do not discuss files outside the team handling them.
How it works
Five stages. We tell you where you are in the process at every point, and what is outstanding.
Start with a consultationA private conversation about your objectives — travel, tax residency, family security, business access — and an honest view of what each programme can and cannot do for you.
We recommend the jurisdiction and investment route that fits your circumstances, including who in your family can be included and what that changes about cost and timing.
We prepare and check the full file, guide document certification and police certificates, and submit through the Unit. Due diligence is where most applications are delayed; ours are prepared for it.
Once approval in principle is granted, the qualifying investment is made and the certificate of registration and passport follow.
Banking introductions, travel documentation, further investment and the administration that follows citizenship. The relationship does not end at the passport.

Real estate
Purchasing an approved property is a qualifying route to citizenship in every Eastern Caribbean programme. We advise on which developments are approved, what the holding period means, and how a property performs after the qualifying period ends.

Common questions
A legal route to citizenship, established by a country's own legislation, under which an applicant who makes an approved economic contribution and passes due diligence may be granted citizenship. In the Eastern Caribbean these are long-standing statutory programmes administered by government units.
Applicants must generally be over 18, hold a clean criminal record, be in good health, be able to evidence the lawful source of their funds, and pass the programme's due diligence. Specific requirements differ by country and we will go through them with you before any application begins.
Yes. Every programme allows a spouse and dependent children, and most allow dependent parents and, in some cases, unmarried siblings. The definitions and age limits differ between countries — this is often the single biggest factor in choosing a programme.
Processing times are set by each government and vary with the completeness of the file and the volume the Unit is handling. We will give you a realistic estimate for your circumstances at consultation, not a marketing figure.
The Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Programme has a residence requirement that must be met within a defined period after citizenship is granted. It is modest, and we will explain exactly what it means for you. Other programmes in the region treat residence differently.
Typically a non-refundable contribution to a national fund, the purchase of approved real estate, or an investment in an approved business. Antigua & Barbuda also offers a University of the West Indies fund route designed for larger families.
The Eastern Caribbean programmes permit dual citizenship. Whether your current country of nationality does is a separate question, and one you should confirm — we will raise it with you, but we do not advise on the law of your home jurisdiction.
Broadly: passports and birth certificates for every applicant, police certificates, medical certificates, evidence of source of funds, and professional and bank references. We provide a full checklist tailored to your family at the outset.
