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.

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!

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.

Hi and thanks for the info but when you say the country 'is less woke than other countries', can you explain what you mean?

I would like to visit for two months in January and February - how would I rent a one bedroom or studio apartment for two months as I would not be able to afford a nightly hotel for two months. - how does it work are there rentals or can I stay with a family in Antigua? Thank you.

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.

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?

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

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?

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

[herheatherness]

You say woke as if it’s a bad thing. Woke to social injustices, environmental dangers, etc. is a very positive thing. The entire reason I am looking at relocating to Antigua is to get out of the USA and the Hellscape that Trump has plunged America into. If I’ll be getting out of the frying pan into the fire, then Antigua’s not for me. But I’m not going to take your word for it, I will do my research.

[LICIOUS]

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

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

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

[boundaryzero]

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

[jazzbeau]

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

Where can we find out about citizenship by Investment?

[clemdane]
