St Kitts and Nevis citizenship by investment unit

Welcome Note

As the pioneer of the global investor immigration industry, St. Kitts and Nevis remains the superior choice for the discerning investor that comes with alternative citizenship. Launched in 1984, the St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme is recognised as the first and finest. It consistently ranks as the world’s best programme in the CBI Index published by the Financial Times’ Professional Wealth Management magazine and possesses an impeccable reputation. It has been crafted using a sustainable model that ensures its acclaimed demand and longevity.

The aim is to achieve this by administrative improvements and maintaining high levels of integrity. The restructured programme allows for greater transparency and accountability – the hallmarks of good governance. It is this framework that solidifies the foundation of any CBI programme. A Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) made up of efficient and focused experts will ensure that the CBI Programme increases processing efficiency as well as accuracy. Simultaneously, strong due diligence processes will be maintained to ensure that only investors of the highest calibre are accepted.

The addition of a new Board of Governors solidifies a strong superintendence over the CIU and is run with the utmost transparency. This additional administration of the CBI Programme is underpinned by three fundamental principles, namely: sustainability, good governance and pragmatism. Investment options are tailored to align with marketing realities while preserving the premium and sought-after brand that St. Kitts and Nevis has developed and nurtured for over four decades.

These sophisticated investment solutions open a whole new world to distinguished investors looking to join the oldest and most distinguished CBI Programme in the world. From family to dynasty, investors can choose from four CBI Options: by making a contribution to the Sustainable Island State Contribution (SISC), investing in an Approved Real Estate Development, purchasing an Approved Private Home , or contributing to an Approved Public Benefit Project. Each of these CBI Options is well-devised and backed by regulations to ensure transparency, good governance and pragmatism.

Accomplished applicants can be confident that they are investing in a jurisdiction where their investment is safe and where they can enjoy concrete rewards and benefits. Backed by strong due diligence, good governance and transparency, discerning investors and citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis can rest assured that the integrity of the CBI Programme is maintained and will always remain world-class.
