The St. Kitts and Nevis “Citizenship by Investment Program” offers many benefits. Above all, one of the main advantages is is the availability of 166 visa-free travel countries, as Saint Kitts and Nevis is a member of the Commonwealth as well as being a member of the Caribbean.
CBI accounts for around 25%-30% of this twin-island state’s GDP.
To apply for this Citizenship by Investment Programme, fulfill ONE of the following investment options:
Your SISC donation to the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis must be at least $250,000 as a single applicant. Additionally, this rises to $275,000 if you include an extra dependent under 18. Furthermore, if you add a dependent over 18, you will pay $300,000.
The Developer’s Real Estate Option requires you to invest no less than $325,000 in an approved real estate development. Consequently, you must own the property for at least 7 years. Furthermore, it can only be resold once, to a new CBI programme member.
In contrast, an Approved Private Home, either a condo or single-family dwelling, qualifies as a CBI option. In this case, you must pay at least $325,000 to the condo owner and $600,000 to the single-family dwelling owner.
Subsequently, you have to own the private home for at least seven years. Following this, you can’t resell your real estate investment to a CBI applicant unless Federal Cabinet approves. Ultimately, you must inject substantial extra investment by way of construction, renovation, or any other improvements.
Invest at least $250,000 in a project that boosts local employment and, also, transfers all real estate to the State on completion.

Our St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment process begins with Form 1, our RIF Trust due diligence. After this screening, we provide a Client Agreement (CA) for you to review and sign. We make this process as easy to follow as a table of contents.
Upon receiving the signed agreement and retainer payment, our St Kitts and Nevis citizenship processing team completes government forms and supporting documents. If you choose a property investment, we arrange the sales and purchase agreement with the developer. We’ll liaise with the property developer and the St Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) on your behalf.
Rest assured that we thoroughly review your application before submission to meet CIU requirements. We maintain close relations with the CIU during months 1-2 and beyond.
Before submitting your documents, we review your St Kitts and Nevis citizenship application to ensure your file complies with the CIU’s requirements. Subsequently, our processing team will complete its final checks.
The CIU undertakes its own due diligence checks, as well. In addition, we will work closely with them to ensure your St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment application proceeds smoothly.
Applying for Citizenship by Investment here now requires a mandatory interview for main applicants and dependents over 16 years of age. During the interview, applicants must attend alone, without legal representatives or support persons. Interviews can be conducted online or in person, with certified translators available if necessary.
The CIU assesses your citizenship application, and upon approval, you make all necessary contributions and pay any applicable government charges including due diligence fees.
Subsequently, you will need to collect the Certificate of Registration in person. You can do this in St Kitts or at an approved consulate or embassy.
Only upon the receipt of the COR will you be able to apply for a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport.
