              Investment Immigration: Saint Kitts and Nevis

              by Colin R. Singer / Tuesday, 23 September 2014 / Published in Citizenship through Investment immigration

              Investment Immigration: Saint Kitts and Nevis Immigrant Investor Programme

              Saint Kitts and Nevis is a small country in the West Indies, and forms part of the Lesser Antilles. It is located about 2000 kilometres southeast of Miami, USA. The country is a democracy and the Queen of England is its Head of State. The capital of the country is at Basseterre on the larger St. Kitts island, which also serves as the political centre of the nation.

              The Citizenship-by-Investment Programme was started by St. Kitts and Nevis in 1984. It is the oldest programme of this kind in the world. Under this programme, the Citizenship by Investment Unit of St. Kitts and Nevis has laid out rigid investment requirements and conducts thorough due diligence so as to attract investor citizens of good character.

              Benefits of Citizenship of St Kitts and Nevis

              • No minimum residency required
              • No personal visit required
              • Visa-free travel to all countries in the Schengen zone
              • Visa free travel to Canada, Switzerland, the UK and Ireland
              • No income or wealth tax
              • Involves a simple application procedure with minimum formalities
              • Family members can be included in the application form
              • Right to reside in any of the 15 Caribbean community countries
              • Citizenship for lifetime
              • Second passport with permission to keep existing citizenship

              Investors above 18 years of age can apply for Citizenship by Investment under two different options:

              • Investment in Real Estate
              • Investment in the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation

              Investment in Real Estate

              To qualify under this option, the applicant must invest a minimum of US $400,000 in designated real estate. Joint investment option is also available, where each investor should make an investment of the minimum amount.

              The application is reviewed by the government and the final decision is taken by the Cabinet.

              The investor has to bear all costs related to the purchase of the real estate – conveyance fee, compulsory insurance fund contribution, and other charges amounting to approximately 4-5 percent of the purchase price.

              Once the application is approved in principle, the investor has to pay the following fees to the government of St. Kitts and Nevis:

              Main Applicant

              US$ 50,000.00

              Spouse

              US$ 25,000.00

              Each child of main applicant under 18 years of age

              US$ 25,000.00

              Each qualified dependent of main applicant above 18 years of age

              US$ 50,000.00

              Children between 18-25 years of age should be supported fully by the parents and must be in a full time educational institution.

              Investment in the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation

              The SIDF (The Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation) in St. Kitts and Nevis is a public charity audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers. An investor using this option for citizenship can invest in the following ways:

              Category

              Contribution

              Single Applicant

              US$ 250,000

              Applicant with a spouse and two children below 18 years of age (up to three family members)

              US$ 300,000

              Applicant with a spouse and four children below 18 years of age (up to five family members)

              US$ 350,000

              Applicant with up to seven family members

              US$ 450,000

               

              Over and above the seven dependents, unmarried dependent children aged between 18-25 years of age can be included at an additional fee

              US$ 50,000.

               

              The above contribution is inclusive of all government fees except for the due diligence fees.

              Due Diligence Fees, Background Check Fees, and Processing Fees

              Main Applicant

              US$ 7,500

              Dependents above 16 years

              US$  4,000

               Permitted Dependents

              • Spouse of the main applicant
              • Child of the main applicant who is:
                • below 18 years of age
                • between 18-25 years of age, fully supported by main applicant and in full time attendance at a recognized educational institution

                • Parents or grandparents of the main applicant and/or his spouse above 65 years of age, fully supported by the main applicant.
