Client story
Client narrative
Where they started
A family of six wished to obtain Antigua citizenship for all members simultaneously. For large families, this is always a budgetary concern: costs accumulate per family member, and the standard pathway, which is cost-effective for a single applicant or family of four, became substantially more expensive for six members.
Why the standard route did not work
Antigua has specially designed this option for such cases—the University of the West Indies (UWI) Fund. Its terms are specifically structured for large families: with six or more members, contributions to the UWI Fund prove more advantageous than the standard pathway, representing the most economical option for a large family.
What BRIDGES had to solve
Furthermore, the UWI Fund offers an attractive bonus unavailable through other options: one year of complimentary education at the University of the West Indies for one family member. For families with children, this represents not merely savings on contributions but a genuine educational opportunity. We assessed the family composition, confirmed that the UWI pathway was indeed more cost-effective for six members, and processed citizenship accordingly—saving substantial funds while adding an educational bonus.
Why a standard answer would not do
The family engaged BRIDGES for a prudent decision: obtaining Antigua citizenship for all six members via the most cost-effective pathway through the UWI Fund, with the bonus of one year complimentary education.
There are six of us, and the standard citizenship pathway was expensive—you pay for each person. Sergey proposed the UWI Fund: it is specifically structured for large families, and for six members, it proved more advantageous than the standard option. Plus, as a bonus, one year of complimentary university education for one of us, which is excellent for a family with children. We processed through UWI, saved a considerable amount, and gained an educational bonus. For our large family, this was the most prudent choice.
