Why the St. Kitts & Nevis CBI Program is Right for You

The Citizenship By Investment programme of St Kitts and Nevis has long been considered the 'platinum standard' of such programmes. There are numerous advantages to this trusted and successful route to citizenship, including the speed with which the process can be carried out and the value afforded by owning the passport: it offers access to 153 countries worldwide, including the UK and the EU.

Homes that are part of the CBI scheme are carefully chosen, and we at Nevis Style Realty are excited to report that the Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis is expanding the programme to include homes outside resort developments. This would mean some of our more unique properties – the converted sugar mills, the villas tucked far away into hidden corners of the Peak's slopes – would be suitable purchases for those looking to take advantage of the CBI scheme. It would be a serious game-changer, both for vendors and purchasers.

The Citizenship by Investment scheme offers automatic residency status and, consequently, access to a low tax regime. In terms of ease of travel, it is the most generous of any of the CBI schemes in the Caribbean. In November 2020, the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis became the fourth Caribbean nation to announce that siblings can be included as part of a family application for citizenship by investment – as long as they are unmarried, childless, 30 years of age or younger, and are dependent on the applicant for financial support. This is a valuable extension to our extraordinary programme.

2020 has served as an urgent reminder to us all, about the value of passports and residency and the freedom that having multiple nationalities can create. Coupled with the waiving of the Alien Landholder's License Fee until March 31^st 2020, this is perhaps why investment in real estate on St Kitts and Nevis has been exceptionally popular this year.

With the islands once more open to the world – we can help you work out arrangements for the necessary quarantine on arrival – as cliched as it may sound, there really has never been a better time to purchase land or property here to ensure your quality of life.
