Return on InvestmentSt. Kitts and Nevis Pathway to Citizenship Overview
Standing as one of the economic pillars of Saint Kitts and Nevis, its Citizenship by Investment program was among the first in the world and remains, to this day, a solid choice for securing a second citizenship. The government enables foreign investors four options to become citizens, of which two are based on contributions, and Investment Visa advises venturing through the other two options, which is the purchase of Real Estate in the country.
Real Estate brings nothing but potential for the future. Besides acting as a tangible asset, which can always be used for a Plan B, or a holiday escapade, it can also be utilized as a means of getting returns, either through rentals or through the sale of the property itself.
How to get the St. Kitts and Nevis Golden Visa and become a Citizen
Saint Kitts and Nevis prides itself on pioneering investment immigration programs worldwide, launching its own as far back as 1984. Ever since, its Citizenship by Investment program has been finely tuned and constantly evolving, keeping transparency and integrity as core values. Because of this, interviews are mandatory for the process of obtaining Citizenship for each applicant over the age of 16.
Supplying documents such as a valid passport, and a clean, criminal record are only some of the many you will be expected to provide. Though extensive, the demands of the program are reasonable, and the process proves direct. The first surefire step to guarantee Citizenship is to contact Investment Visa. Our advisory team counts on more than 25 years of experience and has guided numerous investors to Citizenship in Saint Kitts and Nevis.
