Who is your CBI agent? Abire Mansoor

How would you describe your professional ethos?

With years of experience in the industry, my approach is built on integrity and efficiency. At Citizens International, we’ve been guiding clients through second citizenship for well over a decade, ensuring they make informed decisions that provide security, mobility, and opportunity. We take a straightforward, results-driven approach. No fluff, just clear, professional guidance to get things done.

What three adjectives best describe you?

Knowledgeable, results-driven and dependable.

In your experience, what is the primary motivation for people investing in Antigua & Barbuda?

It’s more than just a second passport - it’s a world of opportunity. Clients want a reliable backup plan, the freedom to move globally, secure their wealth, and improve their overall lifestyle. Antigua & Barbuda is a compelling choice over other citizenship programmes as it’s a safe, beautiful island with a growing economy, strong infrastructure, a thriving tourism sector, and wealth preservation options.

Can you share an inspiring success story of someone whose life or business was transformed through this programme?

I’ve had countless clients with unique stories, but a few stand out. One client moved to Antigua just before the Ukraine war started. Having a second citizenship allowed them to relocate safely when life turned upside down. Another investor from Nigeria began with very little. He saved enough to invest in citizenship, pursued higher education, and later used his Antiguan passport to secure Greek residency, opening doors he never imagined possible.

What is the most rewarding part of helping people obtain second citizenship?

Giving clients peace of mind. Whether it’s for their family’s future, business expansion or personal freedom, knowing we’ve helped them secure more options and a better quality of life is incredibly fulfilling.

How will major development boost interest in Antiguan citizenship?

The country is evolving rapidly, and that’s a great thing for investors. We’re seeing more high-end developments, an expanding tourism sector, and infrastructure improvements that make living and doing business here even more appealing. As Antigua grows, so does the value of citizenship.

What’s one thing you wish more people knew about Antigua & Barbuda?

It’s not just a vacation destination with a beach for every day of the year. It’s an incredible place to live, work, and invest. The people are welcoming, the lifestyle is unmatched, and it offers strong global connections. For those looking to establish a foothold outside their home country, Antigua is a smart and strategic choice.
