This provision only applies to citizens by investment who must reside within Antigua and Barbuda for 35 days within a five-year period post-registration.
The only exception is if the person acquired citizenship via marriage.

Due to amendments to the St. Lucian Citizenship by Investment Act, when an individual acquires citizenship through a CBI programme via fraudulent means, both the
spouse and child(ren) of the individual lose citizenship as well. See Government of St. Lucia (2017).
