The most prestigious passport programme in the Caribbean region
Saint Kitts and Nevis offers three qualifying structures: a non-refundable contribution to the Sustainable Island State Contribution fund, an interest in an approved tourism development, or the purchase of a private residence. The first is a cost that is spent; the other two are a cost that is held.
That choice is the substance of the advisory work. A contribution closes fastest and cleanest, while a property position ties the citizenship decision to a Caribbean real-estate exposure that has to be underwritten on its own merits.
Operating since 1984 and repeatedly reviewed by international organisations — four decades of continuous practice is the benchmark other jurisdictions are measured against.
Ranked 23rd worldwide on the 2026 Henley Passport Index, with entry to all Schengen states, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Hong Kong — the strongest document of any Caribbean citizenship-by-investment programme.
No income tax on global earnings, and no inheritance, gift, or capital gains tax on citizens.
The government treats applicant information as confidential, and data on new citizens is not shared with third countries.
Principals who will be asked where their second passport is from and want the answer to end the conversation.
Families structuring wealth where the estate, not the income, is the binding constraint.
Households securing heritable status for grandchildren, including access to education abroad on a stronger document.
Families insuring against political or economic disruption in their country of primary residence.
