ST. KITTS AND NEVIS · CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT

01 · YOUR STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE
Another citizenship. More options for your family.
When your family lives, studies, or works across countries, additional options matter. St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship can give eligible relatives another shared option. Decide who belongs in the plan and how to commit capital based on the lives you actually lead.
SINCE 1984 · ST. KITTS AND NEVIS

FULL COST IN VIEW
The published minimum is only the starting point.
Family composition, government fees, the agent, documents, and possible acquisition costs also matter. The detailed fee matrix follows below.
FEES & COST MODELSView the official fee matrix and actual cost layers+
Under 18 or age 18+.
Official seven-year holding period.
Principal applicant.
Per dependent age 16+.
Route and family role determine the fee.
OFFICIAL DATA NOTE
For the SISC route, the official rules provide for notice 120 to 180 days after the application is acknowledged; this is not a promise for the full time to passport issuance. New applications have required biometric enrollment since April 14, 2026.
03 · FAMILY & GENERATIONS
Who belongs in the first application?
Start with the people who should share this new option. Age, dependency, and evidence determine who may qualify. Then compare the capital routes and full cost for your family.
PersonProgram logicWhat must be clarified first
Spouse
May be included with the principal applicant.
Record marriage evidence, personal screening, and separate fees.
Children
Under 18; ages 18 to 30 if in full-time education and fully supported. Separate rules apply to adult children with disabilities.
Document age, education, dependency, and evidence per child.
Parents
Parents of either spouse aged 55 or older may qualify if living with and fully supported by the applicant.
Evidence age, living arrangements, support, and additional fees.
Later additions
New spouses, children born later, and parents who become eligible later follow separate procedures. Dependents eligible but omitted from the original application cannot use the post-citizenship addition route.
Identify everyone eligible now before filing; plan later additions and their fees separately.
04 · YOUR ROUTE TO CITIZENSHIP
A clear process. Personal guidance.
Your family and goals shape the route. We coordinate the specialists and the next steps, while the government-authorized agent files the application and the Citizenship Unit decides.
PAUL H. · PROGRAM GUIDANCE
An important decision deserves the right questions.
Who should be included, and what should citizenship make possible for them? Those questions come before choosing a contribution or property.
Paul H. brings extensive experience in citizenship and residence programs. He guides your program choice personally, in English or Dutch.
His affiliated legal team supports legal preparation and implementation. A government-authorized agent handles the formal filing.
THE OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES
We place family, residence, assets, and the purpose of additional citizenship in one plan.
A government-authorized agent prepares and submits the application to the Citizenship Unit.
The Unit reviews the application, conducts the interview, and decides the citizenship case.
THE PROCESS
Six stages in the official process.
- 01
Define the family purpose
Identify everyone involved, current citizenships, and the specific additional option sought.
Before selecting a route - 02
Compare four capital routes
Place contribution and property alternatives side by side, including full family costs and holding periods.
Before investing - 03
Prepare eligibility evidence
Align identity, family records, source of funds, and potential exclusions before filing.
Before submission - 04
File through an authorized agent
A government-authorized agent submits the file; the Citizenship Unit conducts due diligence.
After full preparation - 05
Interview and official decision

During government review - 06
Complete the route, receive the decision
After approval in principle, you complete the chosen investment route. The Unit concludes the process; certificate and passport follow its decision.
After approval in principle

WIDER STRATEGY · THE PASSPORT WITHIN YOUR OVERALL ARCHITECTURE
Where a second citizenship fits your wider plan.
No Borders Founder places the citizenship decision alongside your residence, assets, banking, and family plans. Each has its own rules and role.
More routes for your plans.
We check current entry rights for the destinations that genuinely matter to your family and business.
Plan status deliberately.
A passport does not automatically change tax residence. Residence and tax status are planned separately with the relevant specialists.
Prepare for bank review.
Accounts depend on more than a passport: residence, source of funds, and documentation matter. We organize those foundations early.
Include the next generation.
Who qualifies now and who may join later shapes the capital route, full cost, and longer-term plan.

05 · CLEAR ANSWERS
Six questions before the next step.
Family, full cost, and process: the points that can change your route choice.
What could additional citizenship change for my family?+
It gives eligible family members another national connection to consider in travel, family, and succession planning. We check which current entry rules matter for your actual destinations.
Which relatives can join the same application?+
A spouse, children, and certain parents may qualify under current age, education, and dependency rules. We map the family and cost for each person before choosing a route.
Is the published minimum our all-in cost?+
No. It is the qualifying contribution or investment threshold. Government fees, due diligence, the authorized agent, documents, and any acquisition costs depend on your family and route. We build a family budget, not just an entry figure.
When is the contribution or property investment due?+
The selected capital route is completed after official approval in principle. Application, due diligence, and preparation costs arise earlier. Your authorized agent confirms the current order and deadlines for your case.
How do interviews and biometrics fit into the process?+
The principal applicant is interviewed; dependents aged 16 or over may also be asked to attend. New applications have required biometric enrollment since April 2026. We plan both as normal steps.
Does this passport replace residence or tax planning?+
Citizenship is a distinct legal status. Residence rights in other countries and tax residence follow other rules and your actual circumstances. We give the passport a clear role in your wider plan.
