Are there any exceptions to the visitation requirement for Antigua & Barbuda citizenship-by-investment program?

I am picking among the CBI programs from the Caribbean and like the one offered by Antigua & Barbuda. However, it has been reported that a one-time, five-day visit to the islands is required. If I complete my citizenship application abroad and fail to meet that visit, what happens? Will my citizenship be revoked? Are any exceptions made?

    If you do not make your one-time five-day visit, you will not be able to renew your passport after five years. You will be required to make the visit in order to get your second passport, which is valid for 10 years.

    The five-day rule is enforced without exception and, if not met, the passport will not be renewed at the end of the first five years.

    The five-day visit is mandatory under the Antiguan legislation, and if the requirements are not met the passport would not be renewed. At this stage, there are no exceptions.
