Program overview
St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment
The St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment grants citizenship to qualifying applicants and their families in exchange for an approved investment or contribution, following government due diligence.
Citizenship programs are chosen for travel freedom, long-term security and the ability to pass status to the next generation. We assess suitability before any application.
