About Antigua & Barbuda

Located in the West Indies, Antigua & Barbuda is an island nation in the Caribbean, with a population of less than 100,000.00. A rapidly developing island economy with a per capita GDP of $18,416, Antigua & Barbuda enjoys warm tropical climates with mild rainfall and moderate temperatures.

The capital is Saint Johns. Antigua & Barbuda runs on UTC -4 Time, and the currency is East Caribbean Dollar (XCD). Citizens are referred to as either Antiguan(s) or Barbudan(s). Most Antiguans are of African lineage, descendants of slaves brought to the island centuries ago to labor in the sugarcane fields. However, Antigua’s history of habitation extends as far back as two and a half millenia before Christ. By the end of the eighteenth century Antigua had become an important strategic port as well as a valuable commercial colony. The rise of a strong labour movement in the 1940s, under the leadership of V.C. Bird, provided the impetus for independence. In 1967, with Barbuda and the tiny island of Redonda as dependencies, Antigua became an associated state of the Commonwealth, and in 1981 it achieved full independent status.

About Montenegro

Montenegro is located on the Adriatic coast, in South-Eastern Europe. A breathtakingly beautiful country with abundant natural resources, and embodying European culture, democracy, and economics, Montenegro is a fast developing economy with significant influence in the region, a population of less than 700,000, and a GDP per capita of $20,977.

The capital is Podgorica. Montenegro runs on UTC +1 Time, and the currency is Euro (EUR). Citizens are referred to as Montenegrin. Just as its nature, the history of Montenegro is very colourful– from the grand Roman Empire to the modern times. At the end of the 20th century, and after the disintegration of former Yugoslavia, Montenegro remained in the union with Serbia, thus these two republics formed the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. Most citizens at a referendum held on May 21, 2006, voted independence of Montenegro. Thus today Montenegro is an independent state internationally recognized. UN received Montenegro as 192nd country member on July 27, 2006.

Located in the Mediterranean Sea, Malta is a first world European Nation, and part of the European Union. With a population of 514,000, and a GDP per capita of $48,200, Malta is a well-developed economy (classified as an advanced economy by the International Monetary Fund), with a significant role in the global banking and finance sector.

The capital is Valletta. Malta runs on UTC +1 Time, and the currency is Euro (EUR). Citizens are referred to as Maltese. The history of Malta is a long and colourful one dating back to the dawn of civilisation. The Maltese Islands went through a golden Neolithic period, the remains of which include the mysterious temples dedicated to the goddess of fertility. In 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte took over Malta from the Knights on his way to Egypt. The French presence on the islands was short-lived, as the English, who were requested by the Maltese to help them against the French, blockaded the islands in 1800. British rule in Malta lasted until 1964 when Malta became independent. Modern Malta became a Republic in 1974. Malta joined the European Union in May 2004 and the Eurozone in January 2008.

About Montenegro

Montenegro is located on the Adriatic coast, in South-Eastern Europe. A breathtakingly beautiful country with abundant natural resources, and embodying European culture, democracy, and economics, Montenegro is a fast developing economy with significant influence in the region, a population of less than 700,000, and a GDP per capita of $20,977.

The capital is Podgorica. Montenegro runs on UTC +1 Time, and the currency is Euro (EUR). Citizens are referred to as Montenegrin. Just as its nature, the history of Montenegro is very colourful– from the grand Roman Empire to the modern times. At the end of the 20th century, and after the disintegration of former Yugoslavia, Montenegro remained in the union with Serbia, thus these two republics formed the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. Most citizens at a referendum held on May 21, 2006, voted independence of Montenegro. Thus today Montenegro is an independent state internationally recognized. UN received Montenegro as 192nd country member on July 27, 2006.

It is a US non-immigrant visa category, and it is issued for individual investors or investing companies from countries that have a treaty with the United States.

  • You must have the intent to invest a substantial amount of capital in an existing or new bona fide business. A bona fide company is a real company that produces products or services and is profitable.

It is also recommended that the investment should be of an amount between $100,000 to $200,000 in an existing business or a new business, although a smaller investment qualifies sometimes. In addition, the investment should be expected to increase employment, at least for 3 to 4 people.
