St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Programme Requirements

To apply for this Citizenship by Investment Programme, fulfill ONE of the following investment options:

• OPTION 1. Donate to the Sustainable Island State Contribution (SISC)
  Your SISC donation to the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis must be at least $250,000 as a single applicant. Additionally, this rises to $275,000 if you include an extra dependent under 18. Furthermore, if you add a dependent over 18, you will pay $300,000.
• OPTION 2. Invest in St Kitts and Nevis Property
  The Developer’s Real Estate Option requires you to invest no less than $325,000 in an approved real estate development. Consequently, you must own the property for at least 7 years. Furthermore, it can only be resold once, to a new CBI programme member. In contrast, an Approved Private Home, either a condo or single-family dwelling, qualifies as a CBI option. In this case, you must pay at least $325,000 to the condo owner and $600,000 to the single-family dwelling owner. Subsequently, you have to own the private home for at least seven years. Following this, you can’t resell your real estate investment to a CBI applicant unless Federal Cabinet approves. Ultimately, you must inject substantial extra investment by way of construction, renovation, or any other improvements.
• OPTION 3. Contribute to an Approved Public Benefit Project in St Kitts and Nevis
  Invest at least $250,000 in a project that boosts local employment and, also, transfers all real estate to the State on completion.
