The cost for a family of five is approximately $160,000.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Further highlighted the advantages of Antigua and Barbuda citizenship, including visa-free travel to 160 countries, dual citizenship allowance, and no language test requirements.

These agreements reflect the depth and diversity of the bilateral relationship.<\/p>\n<p>At 33 years old, Ambassador Mohammed Al-Zoubi holds the distinction of being one of the world&#8217;s youngest ambassadors.
