St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Programme

St Kitts and Nevis grants citizenship to investors who make an approved contribution or investment, run by the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) under the Citizenship by Investment Unit Act 2024. The main options are the Sustainable Island State Contribution (SISC), the Public Benefit Option, Private Real Estate Investment and Developer's Real Estate Investment. Applications go only through an Authorised Agent and include due diligence and a mandatory interview for the main applicant. St Kitts and Nevis signed the September 2025 regional agreement to create the ECCIRA regulator with a US$200,000 regional minimum.
