St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment

The Federation of St Kitts and Nevis operates the world's oldest citizenship by investment program, established in 1984. The program offers three investment routes: a non-refundable contribution of USD 250,000 to the Sustainable Growth Fund (SGF) for a single applicant, a qualifying real estate investment of USD 400,000 held for a minimum of 7 years, or USD 200,000 in an alternative real estate project held for a minimum of 5 years. All routes grant citizenship of St Kitts and Nevis and a passport that provides access to over 157 countries and territories without a prior visa or with a visa granted on arrival.

The St Kitts and Nevis citizenship by investment program is widely regarded as one of the gold standard programs in the Caribbean. It imposes no physical presence requirement, requires no interview, and does not require applicants to have any prior connection to St Kitts and Nevis. The country levies no income tax, no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax, and no wealth tax, making St Kitts and Nevis citizenship highly attractive for globally mobile high net worth individuals seeking a second citizenship with strong global mobility.

Investment Options

Applicants may qualify through a USD 250,000 SGF contribution, a USD 400,000 real estate investment with a 7 year hold, or USD 200,000 in alternative real estate with a 5 year hold. Family members can be added to the application at modest additional cost per dependant.

Processing Time

Standard processing takes approximately 45 to 60 days for the due diligence review and approval. An accelerated processing option is available for an additional fee for applicants who require a faster decision on their citizenship application.

Visa Free Travel

A St Kitts and Nevis passport provides access to over 157 countries and territories without requiring a prior visa or on a visa on arrival basis, including the United Kingdom, all Schengen Area states, Canada, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

No Residency Requirement

There is no requirement for the investor or family members to reside in, visit, or establish any physical connection with St Kitts and Nevis before, during, or after the citizenship application process, making it a fully remote application program.
