Build your relocation plan around your household's needs and the way you intend to spend your time, whether you are establishing a principal home or a seasonal base.
The Business Hub can help coordinate enquiries, local introductions and an exploratory visit around the decisions you need to make.
Begin with your intended way of life
Consider whether Antigua and Barbuda will become your principal home, a seasonal base or a place to manage part of your business. The answer affects your immigration arrangements, accommodation needs and the advice required in your present country of residence.
An exploratory visit can help you assess neighbourhoods and everyday travel. Allow time to look beyond a resort setting and consider the services you will use regularly.
Permissions for you and your family
Use our residence and tax planning guide to prepare the principal questions. Confirm the appropriate residence permission and whether your intended activities require a work permit or other authorisation.

Family members may need their own permissions and supporting documents. The former Nomad Digital Residence Programme ended in November 2025. New relocation plans should be based on a route currently available for the person's proposed stay and activities.
Housing schools healthcare and daily life
Explore our property guide and compare rental and purchase options before making a long-term commitment. Check the reliability and cost of utilities, internet service at the actual property, transport and ongoing maintenance.
Families should consider school availability and admission requirements. Health cover should reflect the care needed during the stay and any arrangements for treatment or evacuation abroad.
Belongings and transport
If you intend to ship household belongings, a vehicle or a pet, establish the import requirements and obtain quotations before fixing the moving date. Coordinate arrival, clearance and delivery with your accommodation arrangements, allowing for possible delays.
Moving a business
If the move includes a company or independent professional activity, obtain advice on local registration, licensing and employment obligations. A personal residence permission does not automatically authorise a business to trade or employ staff.
A coordinated plan
We can help you organise the principal enquiries, identify the professionals to consult and plan a visit around the decisions you need to make. Give us an outline of your household, work plans and preferred timescale.
