English is the official language in St. Kitts and Nevis. It is used in government institutions, educational systems, business and the media, reflecting the islands' colonial past when they were part of the British Empire. English on St. Kitts is not only the language of official communication, but also plays an important role in maintaining links with the global community, especially in the areas of tourism and international business.
The islands also have a localized Creole language, which is based on English but incorporates elements of African and other languages. This Creole dialect is used in everyday communication among locals and is part of the islands' cultural heritage. It reflects the unique blend of cultural influences that have shaped the identity and traditions of the people of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
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.
