Life in Antigua: Pros and Cons

[@AabirGTG]

Thanks

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

Thanks for your nice comment.

[@dougbennett3265]

So has anyone ever explained to you the way a very bright background results in you looking like you're in a very dark shadow? Your viewers are just as interested in seeing you as they are the lovely background behind you. Take the time to find out how to adjust your camera to correct this shortcoming - because it IS correctable. Good luck.

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback.

Thank you, great video

i’m personally considering moving here one day, doing the investment program. It sounds really amazing! I genuinely love the ocean and I think it would be amazing to live here one day once I save up enough!

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

It is very lovely. If you enjoy the beach and ocean it is a great place to be!

[@jazzbeau507]

Great review of pros and cons; sorry about flat tire.

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

Thanks 😊

Were the people on Antigua pressured to get vaccinated for covid? I'm curious because we were constantly pressured and shamed here in the states and I still refused.

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

At one point they wanted citizens to be vaccinated but this changed.

[@twinningtwins4721]

They were, and their jobs were on the line.

[@julieaska8298]

Oh yes we were-i however declined to the end-and have not one day regretted it As I tried to convince my other half not to take it-he actually laughed at me- I am saying this still with lot's of sadness -he became a victim March 11th of this year-God has kept me -am doing soo much better now emotionally-able to be moving on without him.I pray everyday for the time to come when Justice will be served to the World..

Can you do a video on the Real Estate Market in each CBI country?

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

Good suggestion!

Haha, We can all say that about where we're from. Reality is, all the Islands are Beautiful!🇩🇲🇩🇲

[@debratuffs3607]

Thank you for this very informative video. I noticed that you made this in February and outlined that it had rained a lot. I want to visit Antigua as a one-off luxury holiday. When would it be best to visit for the least possible rain please?

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

It normally does not rain a lot in February. I just had more time that week to make videos and it rained for the entire week. I like the Caribbean the best between November and April as the summer can get really hot.

[@panchovilla1404]

What do you mean by less woke? Asking because it means different things to different people. Please provide context.

[@paoloctsi]

Could you provide an in-depth analysis of healthcare in the Caribbean? I'm interested in understanding the typical costs associated with health insurance plans that include coverage for evacuation and treatment abroad.

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

Great suggestion. When I get a chance I will do a video on this topic.

[@Rocco-r6v]

That’s the Indian Sands villa ❤

[@boundaryzero]

Thanks! I'd be willing to bet its a CRAP ton cheaper than living in Vancouver/GVRD for eg

I grew up there, I vacation there every summer.

[@jazzbeau507]

Jen, Lighting not good on this video, difficult to see you as clearly as optimal.

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

Thanks for your feedback. We can improve a lot when it comes to videos in the future. We will have more professional ones released hopefully soon.

Where can we find out about citizenship by Investment?

Hi what of the Iland would you recomend for living maybe 6 mounth a year september to april that is most safe and has organic vegetables nuts and fruits ? Thank You

Traffic and roads yes.. I had my pt hold degree.. 😅 I know where they are and drive (Cover them).

[@dovygoodguy1296]

How do the locals themselves handle the healthcare situation and problems of water shortages? I've heard that in St. Vincent alot of young people leave and suffer medical conditions because of the lack of medical services. Whew....

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

Healthcare is fairly accessible and you can see a doctor quickly. For anything major you will need to go to another nearby country.

[@dovygoodguy1296]

@@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen What are some examples of having to go elsewhere??

[@emperorg1989]

Hi jennifer......... pls i need a job in Antigua and barbuda can you help me?

[@970Code]

Hi Jennifer, I am seriously considering buying the Antiguan Passport, do you think there is any political risk? Do they honor passing citizenship to 2 generations? Thanks

[@jazzbeau507]

With no taxes, how does the government function?

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

They have sales tax. A government can function perfectly well with that alone.

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

Yes, they have sales tax.

[@clarkbl]

They don’t spend their citizen’s money funding foreign wars. Amazing how far a country can stretch their dollars when it’s not all being laundered into the pockets of campaign donors.

[@ST-to1vk]

@@dialecticalmonist3405 The way all governments should be.

[@islandgirl3330]

@@dialecticalmonist3405 Not in Canada, but at the same time, we fund other countries and we have an infrastructure to support nine cold months. We are heavily taxed here. From her video: No good roads, water problems, lack of employment, and you have to leave the country for major health care issues. So you are in trouble if you don't earn much. I would have to listen to the locals to hear their side of the story. Taxes are necessary to support the infrastructure and certain things in a country. Wealthy people are happy anywhere. It seems like this island has become a rich man's haven. For jobs to be limited to the tourist industry, you have to leave your beautiful island to get ahead in life and make something of yourself .

[@nomadinvester]

Do you need to be a citizen or a permanent resident to benefit from birthright citizenship? Also, if you are not a tax resident there are there any taxes for non resident citizens that we should be aware of?

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

It is always safe to verify birthright citizenship for whatever country you intend to give birth in just before. For Antigua, there is no personal income tax on resident citizens or citizens who are non resident (there is no personal income tax but there may be tax where the person resides).

[@honeydue5469]

How is the healthcare?

[@dovygoodguy1296]

What would be the appeal to move to a place that produces so little, and requires so many imports. I don't think Antigua is worse than the other island countries.

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

It depends on the person. Friendly environment, government that is hands off, tax friendly, nice lifestyle, crypto friendly...

[@monroealie4030]

An island in the Caribbean, there are no Cons, only Pros.🏝️😁🇩🇲

[@islandgirl3330]

There are pros and cons on all the islands in the Caribbean.

[@andriipogorilyi6934]

Thanks, questions: 1. Does you need to spend 5 days only at first 5 years? If you renew - no need to spend another 5 days? 2. Does future children inherit citizenship free of charge? 3. If only 1 parent apply - does the child 2 years old comes free of charge?

[@clemdane]

Tell me more about "woke" - which countries are more woke and what does that mean exactly?

[@grazion450]

That’s what I want to know. Is her CIP company looking for weak-minded governments that let foreigners come in and do whatever they want? I was never a fan of CIP in A&B and I’m not a fan now.

Can a CBI person past down the citizenship to an adult sibling after one passes away?

How difficult is life in St. John's for locals and expats during the cruise ship season with all their crowds? Restaurants,, shopping, noise, traffic, etc. on those narrow streets and sidewalks?

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

I would not recommend living in St.Johns area as it can get busy and loud.

[@dovygoodguy1296]

@@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen But isn't that the area closest to amenities and conveniences? As you describe it, that would indeed be an effect of the cruise ship crowds, wouldn't it?

Can you please please tell me are there any reoccurring income requirements for st kitts and nevis, and I am not talking about the intal cost for citizenship, but on going income requirements, I have been looking really hard for the answer, please and thank you

[@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen]

There are no ongoing income requirements. If you have significant wealth capable of covering citizenship by investment you can get it.

[@antcasal1520]

Absolutely terrible do you not listen to this lady She probably works in tourism and wants to get business over here. This place is one of the poorest countries I’ve seen on the planet so far full of abandoned properties and derelict houses and churches so sad nowhere to go as a tourist taxi cost a fortune for five minutes journey you probably need $20-$30 for a five minute taxi journey, Coffee will cost you $15-$20 excursions will cost you over 100 or up to $200 as a complete rip off should’ve gone somewhere in Europe instead. The beaches look nothing like the photos only white sands when sun is shining lots of washed up rubbish and not looking like the photos. People are in extreme poverty over here. The only thing was missing in the streets were dead bodies. My God never seen anything like this before I spent six grand on a holiday, which was Supposed to be a five star hotel but was actually three stars probably less. And will never find anything in stock from what’s on menus because of transportation issues.
