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.
