Applications to the Saint Kitts and Nevis program cannot be filed by an individual directly. They must go through an authorized agent, and every document has to meet strict standards. We manage the whole process for you, so nothing is missed.
Working with us, you get:
Saint Kitts and Nevis offers a contribution route and a real estate route, plus a couple of specialised options. Most applicants choose between the contribution and real estate. These amounts and the rules behind them are set by the government and can change; we confirm the current figures in your consultation.
A non-refundable contribution to a national development fund. This is the most direct and popular route. As a broad anchor, it currently starts from around USD 250,000 for a single applicant, with higher amounts where a spouse and dependants are included. The contribution supports the country's development projects.
Purchase of a share or unit in a government-approved development, currently from around USD 400,000, or a single-family private residence from around USD 800,000. The property can usually be sold after a holding period of around seven years while you keep your citizenship.
The program also allows an approved public benefit contribution and the purchase of designated private residences. We explain whether either of these fits your goals during the consultation.
A second citizenship gives you options that a single passport cannot. The main advantages are:
The program is open to applicants who meet the government's conditions. In general you should have:
After a 2023 update, the program uses enhanced due diligence and may include an interview. This careful checking protects the program's reputation and, for a well-prepared file, is nothing to worry about.
From a complete submission, the process commonly takes a few months. Saint Kitts and Nevis permits dual citizenship, so you do not renounce your current nationality. If you are comparing options, we also advise on Grenada citizenship, Dominica citizenship and Antigua and Barbuda citizenship.
We learn your goals and family situation, check your eligibility, recommend the right route, and set out the costs and timeline.
We gather, translate and apostille your passports, certificates, financial records and source-of-funds evidence to the required standard.
Through an authorized agent, we submit your complete file to the Citizenship by Investment Unit and pay the application and due diligence fees.
Independent background checks are carried out, along with any interview. On success, the government issues an approval in principle.
You make the contribution or real estate investment, and we collect your citizenship certificate and passport through secure channels.
We work with international clients every day, entirely in English, and explain each step plainly.
From eligibility to passport, we can manage the whole process without you needing to travel.
We prepare your file to meet strict due diligence standards, which protects your application.
We advise across Caribbean and other residency and citizenship routes, so you can compare with confidence.
