St. Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment

St. Kitts & Nevis operates one of the world’s longest-established Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programmes, first introduced in 1984. The programme allows eligible investors and their families to obtain citizenship through approved contribution or investment routes administered by the Citizenship Unit (CIU).

Why Consider St. Kitts & Nevis?

St. Kitts & Nevis may be an attractive option for investors seeking a well-established Caribbean citizenship programme, no ongoing physical-residency requirement, family inclusion, multiple investment choices, dual-citizenship flexibility and enhanced international mobility. The programme has operated for more than four decades and remains government regulated.
