St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment is the oldest and first of its kind and it was established in 1984. The programme offers citizenship to individuals and families via the Sustainable Growth Fund (SGF) Contribution and Real Estate amongst others. Holders of the St. Kitts and Nevis Passport receive visa-free access to over 130 countries including the UK and Schengen area. Recipients of the St. Kitts and Nevis CBI Programme have the opportunity to apply for a 10-year visa for the USA, which would enable business diversification and business immigration into the USA.

The Documentation Timeline (DT) is two (2) weeks and the Processing Timeline (PT) is between 240 – 360 days which is solely dependent on changes in immigration policies.
