Which remote workers qualify: foreign employees, freelancers, company owners or other remote professionals?

The Nomad Digital Residence (NDR) programme is closed; its official website now states that the programme has ended. While it operated, it was intended for non-nationals aged 18 or over who worked remotely for employers outside Antigua and Barbuda. The official FAQ also addressed self-employed applicants and listed documents to demonstrate their employment or business activity. These are the discontinued programme's published historical conditions, not an invitation to apply now.

What income threshold applies, how must it be demonstrated, and how does family affect it where stated?

The NDR programme is closed. Its official criteria page listed a minimum income of US$50,000 without stating the period to which the amount relates. The official FAQ listed pay stubs and a bank statement as proof of funds, and accepted tax returns without making them compulsory. The official source does not state a separate family-income threshold; the published family application fees are fees, not an income uplift.

Limits of the record
  • The US$50,000 amount is printed without a monthly/annual or other measurement period in the retrieved criteria/home pages. No period is inferred.
  • No separate family-income threshold is stated in the retrieved criteria and FAQ; the family fee schedule cannot supply one.

Where must the employer, company or clients be located? Is local work restricted?

The NDR programme is closed. Under its official FAQ, the visa allowed remote work only for companies and individuals outside Antigua and Barbuda, a restriction given in answer to a question about employment with an Antiguan employer. The separate guidance for self-employed applicants concerned proof of their work or business activity and did not remove the foreign-company or foreign-client restriction.

Can family accompany? How long is the status granted and can it be renewed?

The NDR programme is closed. Its official FAQ stated that dependants could be included in a family application and that the visa ran for two years from the date of approval, not from arrival; it could be issued only once and could not be renewed. The official sources do not explain how unexpired individual permits are treated after the closure.

Limits of the record
  • The retrieved programme pages and stored notice do not establish comprehensive transitional treatment of unexpired permits after programme closure. Individual permit validity or cancellation is not inferred.

What immigration-relevant tax/residence information is officially stated, and what longer-term residence direction exists?

The NDR programme is closed. Its official FAQ stated that the visa holder's income-tax affairs were with their country of normal residence. The same FAQ described a two-year, one-time, non-renewable visa, and the official sources do not state a conversion to permanent residence or citizenship.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The historical programme FAQ is not an independently verified current tax statute or individual tax-residency assessment.
  • No NDR conversion or successor mechanism is established by the inspected sources; this does not prove that no separate residence route exists.
