The Programme
St. Kitts and Nevis, in plain terms.
The original Citizenship by Investment programme — established in 1984, decades before the others — and still the benchmark by which the others are measured. St. Kitts and Nevis carries the strongest institutional history, a Sustainable Growth Fund route with a long-standing track record, and a passport that holds among the highest visa-free reach in the Caribbean. For principals who value lineage and proven process, this is the standard.

Frequently asked
About the St. Kitts and Nevis programme.
01 Do I need to submit a separate St. Kitts Citizenship by Investment application for each family member?
No, this is not necessary. The same application may include spouses and dependent offspring up to 30 years of age. You may also include your dependent parents and grandparents who are 55 years or older, as well as other eligible dependents who can legally obtain a St. Kitts passport and citizenship by investment.
02 How can I be sure of my investment in St. Kitts and Nevis real estate?
Investments can only be made in Government Approved Real Estate Projects. At PassPro, we regularly visit the island and vet projects first-hand so that we can give you sound and current advice on the best real estate projects and reputable developers. We will help check the contracts on your behalf, pick the best units that can be rented or sold after the holding period, and negotiate the best package for your needs.
03 What makes investing in a St. Kitts second citizenship legal?
What makes the St. Kitts citizenship by investment programme legal is the presence of a Constitutional Act that prescribes how an individual can acquire citizenship through investment and ensures the citizenship granted is for life — meaning no one can revoke your St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship or your St. Kitts passport even if government changes in the future. Most of the Caribbean programmes require the investor to apply through an authorised agent and invest in government funds or approved real estate projects, business ventures, or government bonds. The applicant also has to undergo a biometric due diligence check and prove they have a legitimate source of funds.
04 After I obtain my St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship, what resources will be available to me for the next steps?
We believe that acquiring a second citizenship is not a transaction, but a relationship that lasts a lifetime. PassPro stays with you for the lifetime of the citizenship — handling passport renewals, adding newborns and family members, consular guidance, and ongoing updates to programmes that affect you. No retainers, no recurring fees.
