Who is your CBI agent? Julia S. Herbert
With a career spanning over half a decade, Julia has cultivated a wealth of expertise in the intricate field of citizenship by investment. She oversees all client applications at Citizenship Solutions and maintains a seamless line of communication with clients and governmental bodies.
How would you describe your professional ethos?
My professional ethos is built around values of trust, integrity and transparency. I believe in fostering trust in every interaction, in ensuring that there is clear, open and proactive communication, and in taking responsibility for my work. My aim is to understand my clients’ needs and to deliver solutions that meet or exceed their expectations.
What three adjectives best describe you?
Insightful, collaborative and efficient.
In your experience, what is the primary motivation for people investing in Antigua & Barbuda?
A growing economy, strategic location, and a favourable investment climate make the country an attractive choice for investors looking for financial benefits, business opportunities, and a desirable lifestyle.
What lifestyle or business opportunities do potential investors find most appealing?
Antigua & Barbuda offers lucrative opportunities for real estate investment, particularly in high-end resorts, villas and beachfront properties. Investors benefit from capital appreciation, rental income and the country’s growing appeal as a destination for tourism and luxury living.
Can you share an inspiring success story of someone whose life or business was transformed through this programme?
One inspiring story is that of Susan H, a widow and successful business owner. She faced challenges expanding globally due to visa restrictions, especially for travel to Europe and the US. She also sought an investment that would diversify her portfolio and offer her family a safe, peaceful place for retirement.
In 2022, after visiting the island and attracted by its stability, tax incentives and growing tourism sector, Susan chose to invest. Second citizenship gave her peace of mind and the chance to secure her lifestyle.
What is the most rewarding part of helping people obtain second citizenship?
Empowering them to create a better future for themselves and their families.
How will major development boost interest in Antiguan citizenship?
It is opening up more opportunities for investment, business, and employment, especially in high-end sectors like tourism, real estate, and hospitality. The rise of luxury properties and resorts will also strengthen the real estate market, making the country more appealing for investors looking to diversify through property ownership.
What’s one thing you wish more people knew about Antigua & Barbuda?
I wish more people knew how rich and diverse its cultural heritage is, despite its small size. The twin-island nation is not just a beautiful tropical paradise; it has a fascinating history shaped by Indigenous, African, European, and Caribbean influences, which come together to create a vibrant and unique culture.
