Saint Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment Programme

St. Kitts and Nevis, a dual-island nation nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, holds the distinction of pioneering the concept of Citizenship by Investment back in 1984.

Four decades on, St. Kitts and Nevis continues to lead the industry, upholding rigorous standards of due diligence and establishing its Citizenship by Investment Programme as the epitome against which all other citizenship programmes are measured.

Benefits Of St Kitts And Nevis Citizenship

The St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Programme offers many benefits, including:

Citizenship for life

St Kitts and Nevis citizenship gives you the right to live and work in the country for life, plus civic entitlements like voting, free healthcare and the right to hold a St Kitts and Nevis passport.

Entitlement to dual citizenship

Unlike other countries, St Kitts and Nevis has no restrictions on dual citizenship. Consequently, you don’t need to relinquish your original nationality in order to become a St Kitts and Nevis citizen.

Ability to pass on citizenship

As a St Kitts and Nevis citizen, you’ll also be able to pass on your citizenship rights to your descendants. This allows them to enjoy all the same benefits and in turn safeguards your family’s future.

Application Process

Saint Kitts and Nevis’ Citizenship by Investment application process consists of seven steps:

Step 1: Application and pre-approval by Global Rank. We will look through your application to check everything is in order and confirm it meets the requisite conditions, giving it the best possible chance of being accepted.

Step 2: Submission of citizenship application. After approving the application, we will then send it to St Kitts and Nevis’ Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) on your behalf.

Step 3: Government processing and due diligence checks. The Government of St Kitts and Nevis will process your application and perform due diligence checks, which includes checking for criminal records and assessing your ability to provide funds.

All main applicants are required to attend a mandatory interview. Dependants aged 16 years of age may at the discretion of the CIU be required to attend an interview.

Step 4: Approval in principle. Once your application is approved in principle, you’ll receive a letter confirming that the CIU has officially granted your request for citizenship.

Step 5: Make the investment of your choice. Now is the point you make your qualifying investments.

Step 6: Citizenship certificate issued. After you’ve completed the above steps, you’ll receive a citizenship certificate, officially making you a St Kitts and Nevis citizen.

Step 7: Passport application. You’re now able to apply for a St Kitts and Nevis passport and reap all the global mobility benefits involved.

How long does it take to process an application?

From submission of the application to receiving the approval in principle, applicants can generally expect to wait around four months. You are not required to pass tests, or travel to or reside in St Kitts and Nevis, which helps speed up the process.
