Like certain countries worldwide, St. Kitts & Nevis is one of the countries that offer a Citizenship by Investment program. Having first launched in 1984, their investment program is the oldest program of its kind. Today, it has become a popular choice for investors seeking second citizenship and passport for them and their families. This is because the St. Kitts & Nevis program is one of the most affordable programs right now and includes a string of benefits for investors to enjoy.
One of the benefits of having a St. Kitts & Nevis second passport is that it allows investors to visit over 150 countries visa-free and visa-on-arrival, which saves investors a lot of time, money and energy. Many investors know how stressful and time-consuming the visa process can be and the fact that some countries can reject visa applications based on their country of origin.
The Value of Second Citizenship
Confirming the value of second citizenship and passport, CEO of Savory & Partners, Jeremy Savory says, “We’ve had a lot of European, Western clients that want to be strategic with their tax planning and passing on inheritances. We also have Middle Eastern clients facing challenges, where they don’t feel like they can travel freely into the Schengen zone in Europe, or to the UK or the US. Citizenship by Investment gives them a plan B.”

Limited Time Offer
Effective immediately, families of 4 can now benefit from a $45,000 price reduction and contribute just $150,000 to the Sustainable Growth Fund up until January 15th 2021.
St. Kitts & Nevis Citizenship Investment Unit Chief Executive, Les Khan explains the new price reduction of a family contribution, saying, “We are delighted to offer – for a limited period while the world grapples with the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic – all of the benefits of full economic citizenship at an even more competitive rate for families, and with a new paper-free application process.”
