St. KITTS & NEVIS CITIZENSHIP

The Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis invites eligible foreign investors and their families to obtain citizenship through our Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP). In exchange for a qualified investment, applicants gain a full, lifelong citizenship and passport — opening doors to global travel, business, and lifestyle opportunities. 

Program Highlights

Established, world-recognised Caribbean citizenship program with a strong record of transparency and due-diligence.

• Holds membership in the British Commonwealth and benefits from stable government, legal framework and attractive tax environment.
• Citizens may hold dual (or multiple) citizenships; no requirement to reside permanently in St. Kitts & Nevis.
• Eligible dependents may include: the main applicant’s spouse, children up to a specified age, dependent parents or grandparents (check current regulations).
• No personal income tax on worldwide income, no inheritance or wealth taxes, and freedom to repatriate profits and capital.
• Caribbean lifestyle: tropical climate, natural beauty, vibrant expat community, direct air / cruise connections to major hubs.
