Real Estate in St. Kitts & Nevis

Investing in World-class Real Estate can qualify as the investment for the Citizenship Program

St. Kitts and Nevis has only recently diversified from the sugar industry to high-end tourism, becoming one of the Caribbean’s most popular luxury destinations.

To qualify for citizenship under the real estate option, one can invest in

  • property valued at minimum $400,000, or
  • invest in Share in a property valued at $200,000.

The minimum real estate investment required by law is US$200,000 (resalable after 7 years) or US$400,000 (resalable after 5 years).

The average processing time is between 2 to 4 months if property is purchased from a developer that meets all criteria for efficient processing of citizenship application. We only assist our clients with approved and qualified real estate options.
