The St Kitts and Nevis 60-Day Accelerated Application Process

Les Khan, the CEO of the Citizenship Investment Unit (CIU) of St Kitts and Nevis announced a new Accelerated Application Process where applicants for St Kitts and Nevis economic citizenship will be fast-tracked and approvals granted within 60 days - a step expected to define the pioneering Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program as innovative and an international leader once again.

The CIU under Khan’s leadership has been undergoing a number of reforms including the strengthening of its vetting process and the implementation of a Technical Committee. This means that the same high standards of due diligence will apply to every new applicant, but as a result of increasing the team and expanding on their expertise, applicants will now be able to be fast tracked at a premium.

The announcement was made at the two-day CBI Conference which took place last week at the Crowne Plaza in Dubai. Mr Les Khan said:“It was my ambition to improve the service delivery and performance of the Citizenship Investment Unit and I am grateful to the cabinet of the Prime Minister Dr. the Honorable Timothy Harris for sharing this vision, for having confidence in the unit and for having a commitment to deliver a Platinum Service.”

Mr. Les Khan stated that with the enhanced processes and systems in place, St. Kitts and Nevis is able to expedite the issuance of citizenships, among other services. Mr. Khan remarked that clients were eager to implement this new program; accordingly, he will release implementation guidelines shortly.
