1. Global Mobility – St. Kitts and Nevis passport grants its holder visa-free access to 157 destinations worldwide, the most prominent of which are the UK, EU, Hong Kong, Russia, and Singapore.

2. A tax haven – Many investors worldwide choose St. Kitts and Nevis tax residency for their wealth. It makes absolute sense as the country’s tax regime is one of the best in the world, just take a look at the following tax rates in St. Kitts and Nevis:

  • Income tax: 0%
  • Wealth tax: 0%
  • Inheritance tax: 0%
  • Capital gains tax for assets in St. Kitts and Nevis sold after only 1 year of acquisition:0%

It is no wonder then many investors choose to buy St. Kitts citizenship not only to gain travel freedom but to free their finances of any taxation shackles.

3. The more the merrier – St. Kitts and Nevis allow you to add an outstanding range of family members to add to your application, as St. Kitts and Nevis government allows you to add:

  • Spouse
  • Dependent children below 31 years of age
  • Dependent siblings below 31 years of age

This means you can hypothetically add the entire family to one application and one investment, and all of them can enjoy the perks of becoming citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis.

4. Quick and Simple – The process of getting a passport is quick and simple and can be done in as little as 45 days without the need for physical immigration to Saint Kitts and Nevis or even travelling to the country! More on this is listed below in the article.

Investment options for obtaining citizenship of St. Kitts and Nevis

St. Kitts investment citizenship is possible through two investment options which are:

  1. A contribution to the country’s Sustainable Growth Fund (SDF) starting at US $150,000
  2. Purchasing real estate in the shape of property or shares in a 5-star resort for a minimum of US $200,000
  3. Alternative Investment Option is the best way to get passports for a family of four. The price is just $175,000

Understanding which investment option is the best one for you is a crucial step in your journey to dual citizenship, so we will guide you through the basics.

St. Kitts and Nevis contribution option

Contributing to St. Kitts and Nevis’s SDF is a cost-effective option to qualify for St. Kitts citizenship. The premise is simple, through an outlay of US $150,000 investors are eligible for citizenship. This value increases as more family members are added to the application, as a family of four will incur a contribution of US $195,000, and any additional family member will require an additional US $10,000, while dependent siblings will require an additional amount of US $20,000.

The contribution option offers investors a direct, simple, and cost-effective route to St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship. This route is optimal for small family compositions or a single applicant.

St. Kitts and Nevis real estate option

Real estate has always been a fan favorite of savvy investors, and the nation of St. Kitts & Nevis considered this preference and added a real estate option in the mold of St. Kitts real estate citizenship.

To qualify for St. Kitts citizenship through the real estate option you must purchase a property or share in a world-renowned brand 5-star resort on the island in the amount of US $200,000.

This option proves valuable for many reasons, the top three of which are:

  • You also sell the real estate after 5 years, meaning you get your investment amount back!
  • You can make a nifty ROI through renting your property, or better yet by having the resort generate income for you. Keep in mind, this is a country that derives 10.8% of its GDP from tourism and had 1.2 million tourists flock to its shores in 2019.
  • This option is best for large families, as the real estate investment amount stays the same, only additional fees such as application fees, due diligence fees, and so on increase.

The government sets out a list of approved St Kitts real estate for sale that will qualify you for the program. There are plenty of options to choose from, some which come with a nifty ROI to boot.

We do advise taking a family vacation there through, the country has some of the most amazing natural scenery in the world.

Fees and costs

St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship by investment program is extremely popular for more than its quick processing time and simplicity, but for its reasonable costs as well.

The main cost in the program is the investment amount itself, be it the contribution option or the real estate option the bulk of payables will be the main investment amount. There are additional fees such as due diligence fees, application fees, and processing (government) fees which are added to the application.

Due diligence fees are set at US $7,500 for the main applicant and US $4,000 for a spouse and any dependent aged 16 years or over. Application fees are set at US $250 per person included within the application.

In the contribution option, the investment amount starts at US $150,000 as mentioned earlier, and increases as more family members are included in the application. A family of four would incur an investment amount of US $195,000.

The real estate investment requires an investment of US $200,000, this amount does not change with the addition of dependent family members, making this option a great one for larger families. What does differ is the government fees, as the government requires the following:

  • Fee of US $35,000 for main applicant
  • Fee of US $20,000 for spouse
  • Fee of US $10,000 for each additional dependent

This should cover the main requirements of a St. Kitts and Nevis passport application.
