St Kitts & Nevis
St Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment
The program every other citizenship-by-investment scheme is modelled on — running continuously since 1984, with an accelerated processing option for time-sensitive applicants.
The original, still running
St Kitts & Nevis launched the world's first citizenship-by-investment program in 1984 and has continuously refined it since — the deepest institutional experience of any CBI jurisdiction. The Sustainable Island State Contribution (SISC) is the standard donation route; a real estate route is also available for investors who prefer a tangible asset. An accelerated processing tier exists for applicants who need a faster outcome.
