Saint Kitts & Nevis

Citizenship By Investment

About Saint Kitts & Nevis

The twin island Federation of Saint Christopher (Kitts) and Nevis is a former British and French colony, indeed the Mother Colony of the Caribbean. It now boasts of its Independence status since September 19, 1983. The combined area of both islands, two miles apart from their closest points, is just under 110 square miles but there is breathtaking topographical, flora and fauna beauty to spoil you. The combined population is well below 100,000 but the people are warm and friendly so it is quite easy to get comfortable when you arrive. The democratically elected Government is invariably stable, and the economy is bolstered by Tourism, International Financial Services and Citizenship by Investment.

Tourism, the leading economy of the islands, it has been growing steadily bringing with it new hotels and resort developments. Both islands have international airports and are connected by ferry lines. St. Kitts and Nevis, has the longest standing (established in 1984) citizenship by investment program in the world. A St. Kitts and Nevis passport allows substantial travel flexibility.

Citizens can often acquire long-term travel visas to many countries. There is no personal income tax, wealth tax, or inheritance tax. All applicants are subject to a strict background check. The granting of citizenship is at the sole authority of the government in accordance with the Saint Christopher and Nevis Citizenship Act of 1984 as amended; there is no guarantee that the applicant will be approved.
