HOW TO OBTAIN SAINT KITTS CITIZENSHIP THROUGH INVESTMENT

The St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment programme offers two main investment paths. Applicants can obtain citizenship and a passport through a donation route or by investing in Government approved real estate projects. The government requires a minimum donation of $150,000 to the Sustainable Growth Fund (SGF) or a minimum real estate investment of US$200,000. In addition, related government application fees and due diligence fees apply.
