Obtaining citizenship in St. Kitts and Nevis is achievable through the esteemed Citizenship by Investment Program. This program offers two primary routes: a contribution to the Sustainable Growth Fund (SGF) or an investment in government-approved real estate.
The SGF route requires a non-refundable donation to the fund, which supports economic development projects in the country. This option has a set minimum contribution amount, with additional fees for dependents.
Alternatively, investors can choose the real estate route, which involves purchasing property from a pre-approved list. The minimum investment threshold is higher than the SGF option, and the property must be held for a specified period before it can be sold.
Applicants must pass a thorough due diligence process, providing documents such as a valid passport, proof of funds, and other personal information to ensure compliance with legal standards. Once approved, applicants gain full citizenship rights, including visa-free travel to numerous countries and the ability to hold dual citizenship.

New Zealand has announced a significant update to its business immigration strategy, launching the new Business Investor Visa (BIV) in November 2025. This program replaces the previous Entrepreneur Work Visa and is designed to attract experienced investors to inject capital into established New Zealand businesses.
Effective August 1st, the program offers second citizenship in 6 weeks via Dubai-based PPP. From $90k donation + $5k fee (single applicant).
Starting August 20, certain visa applicants must post bonds up to $15,000. The program explicitly targets Citizenship-by-Investment holders over vetting concerns. Initially affects Malawi/Zambia nationals, but CBI countries face potential inclusion with 15 days' notice. 30-day stay limit applies.
