St Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment

St Kitts and Nevis map

People are increasingly opting for Citizenships by Investment, including Westerners who traditionally were not an important market for such schemes.

The reality is that in a world of ever greater geopolitical tension and government pressure on their citizens, having a second citizenship has become a necessary insurance for many families

 

Benefits of obtaining St Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment

  • Visa-free access to over 150 countries including the EU, the UK, Ireland, and Russia
  • One of the few Citizenship by Investment countries where taxes for local tax residents is 0%. If you were to live in your new country you could do so tax-free.
  • Can be obtained in as little as 4 months
  • No need to travel to St Kitts & Nevis – can be done entirely remotely
  • The whole family can be included, including spouse, dependent children, dependent parents and grandparents

 

What most agents won’t tell you about the St Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment program

  • Access to the Shenghen zone is visa-free for St Kitts & Nevis passport holders, but for how long? I don’t know. Potentially the EU could start making a distinction between “normal St Kitts & Nevis citizens” and “Investment St Kitts & Nevis Citizens” as the US started doing for some countries whereby it differentiates between various types of people within a country. I’m not saying this will happen, but it’s a risk. Ultimately, I don’t think it is necessarily that important. It’s a plan B, not a plan A.
  • Children and grandchildren born after the naturalization process have extra fees to incur to become citizens. It is not a “pure citizenship” with the same rights as existing citizens such as with the Turkish Citizenship by Investment.

What about the real estate option for the St Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment option?

Though it would be in Laszlo’s interest to sell the real estate option as the commissions are much higher (developers offer huge commissions), the reality is that these real estate projects are all overpriced. They are absolutely terrible investments based on a restricted market (only a few projects are approved for the St Kitts & Nevis citizenship by investment program) which means that after the mandatory holding period the value of the apartments is MUCH lower on the open market.

Stay away for your own personal finance and sanity.
