Citizenship in St. Kitts & Nevis – The Citizenship-By-Investment Program

Under the guidance of a progressive government, St. Kitts and Nevis is emerging to embrace a controlled and well-managed program of tourism-related development, and significant to the nation’s economic expansion is its Citizenship-By-Investment Program.

Today, the international demand for second citizenship is at an unprecedented level. The St. Kitts & Nevis Citizenship-by-Investment Program (CIP) is the world’s most competitive program in terms of value of travel document versus expected residency.

Created in 1984, the St. Kitts & Nevis CIP is the longest established program of its kind in the world and requires a minimum property purchase of $400,000 US in an approved development such as the Rendezvous Hill Condominiums. Additional Government processing fees are due depending on the size of the family and upon application, buyers must undergo third-party security and medical checks before approval. Processing time to citizenship ranges from 6 to 9 months.
