In 1984, the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis established the world’s first Citizenship by Investment Programme. As the oldest and most established of its kind globally, the scheme offers citizenship to reputable individuals and their families through a robust and efficient due diligence process.
Citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis gain visa-free access to over 145 countries and territories, the highest among Caribbean countries with investment-migration schemes. The scheme offers international mobility to international business centres located in the United Kingdom, the European Schengen Area, Russia, Asia, Africa and Latin America. It also provides leisure opportunities and opens up new cultural and tourism experiences.
St Kitts and Nevis intends to attract distinguished applicants who have demonstrated exceptional accomplishments, possess substantial investment capabilities, and are committed to making significant contributions to the country’s growth and development.
