How do I get citizenship in St. Kitts and Nevis?

Securing citizenship in St. Kitts and Nevis can be accomplished through their well-established Citizenship by Investment Program. This program provides two primary options: a financial contribution to the Sustainable Growth Fund (SGF) or an investment in approved real estate.

The SGF option requires a non-refundable donation, with a set minimum amount for individual applicants and additional fees for dependents. Alternatively, individuals can choose to invest in government-approved real estate, which involves a higher financial threshold and requires maintaining ownership of the property for a designated period before resale is permitted.

Applicants must undergo a rigorous vetting process, including submitting various personal documents such as a valid passport and proof of financial resources, to ensure all legal criteria are met. Once approved, new citizens enjoy full rights, including the ability to travel visa-free to numerous countries and the option of dual nationality.

For comprehensive guidance and to start the application, prospective applicants should consult with an authorized agent or directly contact the Citizenship by Investment Unit of St. Kitts and Nevis.
