Living by the sea and travelling around Europe without visas
The St Kitts and Nevis citizenship by investment program is the oldest in the world: it was launched in 1984. Since then, more than 20,000 applicants have received passports.
Investors contribute $150,000 to the state fund or buy real estate for at least $175,000. Some real estate investments can be returned in 5—7 years.
Investors don't take language proficiency tests or history exams to get citizenship. There are no residency requirements: applicants don't have to come to St Kitts and Nevis before or after obtaining their passport.
An investor's spouse, children, parents and siblings can get passports under the program. In addition, St Kitts and Nevis citizenship is hereditary.
Visa-free travel to the UK and the Schengen countries
St Kitts and Nevis citizens can travel visa-free to 156 countries around the world, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Britain, Ireland and the Schengen states. A St Kitts and Nevis passport gives broader travel opportunities than any other Caribbean passport.
Long-term US visas
St Kitts and Nevis citizens can get a 10-year B-1/B-2 visa to the USA. It allows the holder to travel around the country, visit friends and family, participate in business meetings and get medical treatment in American clinics.
International business
Citizens have the right to register a company in St Kitts and Nevis. It helps investors in working with their foreign partners. For example, payments can be made without worrying about foreign exchange control regulations. The beneficial owner’s data is not entered in the commercial register when registering a company.
Tax optimisation
St Kitts and Nevis tax residents do not pay taxes on dividends, interest or royalties. There is no tax on wages, capital gains or inheritance in the country
