A minimum investment of US$400,000 qualifies foreign nationals to obtain full citizenship and a passport for St. Kitts and Nevis. The real estate investment route is the only option which enables investors to immediately claim domicile if desired and recover funds used to acquire citizenship. Investors have the option to rent their property through an experienced management company, earn monthly rental income, and sell the property once the 5-year mandatory holding period has expired.
Once an applicant’s application for citizenship is approved in principle (approximately 90 – 120 days from the date of submission of documents to Government), and the requisite investment is made, the applicant, along with family members will become lifetime citizens of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.
