St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship By Investment Programme

Although many of the Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programmes in the world are modelled after the St. Kitts and Nevis (SKN) Programme, one thing that cannot be copied is that the SKN Programme was established in 1984 and is the oldest CBI Programme in the world.

BENEFITS OF THE ST. KITTS AND NEVIS CBI PROGRAMME

Some of the many advantages of multiple citizenships include:

  • Well established with policies in place for post-citizenship (e.g. Citizenship by Descent, Addition of Dependants to approved applications)
  • Variety in investment options
  • Generous age-range for qualified dependants
  • Visa-free access to over 150 countries and territories
  • Fast-track option (Accelerated Application Process)
  • Minimal taxation – no wealth, gift, inheritance, foreign income, or capital gains tax, and no personal income tax for residents
  • Family-friendly with the ability to add siblings as dependants
  • Efficient and timely application process
  • Introduction of Escrow Agent legislation to ensure transparency and integrity

INVESTMENT OPTIONS:

Sustainable Growth Fund (SGF) Option Through the SGF, an applicant’s contribution is made directly to a government-held fund, with the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) being able to check receipt immediately and speed up the application process. The investments under this option help to fund community-focused projects that drive economic growth for local people and investors.

Investment Amount:

  • Main Applicant- US$150,000
  • Main Applicant + Spouse- US$175,000
  • Every Additional Dependant- US$10,000

Real Estate Investment Option Applicants can obtain citizenship by investing in a pre-approved real estate development or, for a limited time only, through the purchase of qualifying private residential property. The funds for the investment are held by an escrow agent or are only paid by the applicant after approval.

  • Real Estate Developments Applicants may qualify for citizenship through an investment in a pre-approved real estate project, which may include hotel shares, villas, and condominium units. The minimum real estate investment required by law is US$200,000 (resalable after 7 years) or US$400,000 (resalable after 5 years) for each main applicant.
  • Private Home Sales From November 1st 2020 and ending November 1st 2022, applicants can purchase qualifying private homes under the Citizenship by Investment Programme. The homes must have an appraised value of more than USD 400,000 and cannot be resold for a period of at least 5 years.

Alternative Investment Option A potential project is identified for investment and the asset when completed and operated for a reasonable period of time must be turned over to the Government in a maintained condition consistent with prudent ownership.

  • A Public Good Project Developer (PGPD), where the State owns the asset at the end of an agreement. These projects are fully funded by the PGPD and locked in “up front”. The minimum Unit of Investment is US$175,000.
  • A Private Enterprise Developer (PED), where the built or funded asset is privately owned. In this option, the minimum Unit of Investment will be US$200,000.
