INVESTMENT OPTIONS IN ST. KITTS & NEVIS

There are two investment options available to potential citizens. The first one is a contribution to Sustainable Growth Fund (SGF). A single applicant is required to contribute US 150,000, a main applicant with up to three dependents – up to US 195,000. Additional dependents regardless of age must invest US 10,000.

This is a non-refundable contribution and, technically, is not an investment as such. After the application is submitted, an applicant must also pay due diligence and processing fees – US 7,500 for the main applicant, and US 4,000 for each dependent over 16 years of age.

• For a limited time only, qualifying families of up to four individuals may apply for citizenship with a discounted donation of US$150,000 (instead of US$195,000) into the Sustainable Growth Fund. This special offer ends on 31 December 2021.

Additional due diligence and processing fees for the second option amount to US 7,500 for the main applicant and US 4,000 for each dependent over the age of 16 years old. Once the application is approved, the following government fees also apply:

Main applicant: US 35,050;

Spouse of the main applicant: US 20,050;

Dependent of the main applicant regardless of age: US 10,050.

If you are going for the real estate option, be also aware of additional purchase costs (mostly insurance fund contribution and conveyance fees).
