St Kitts citizenship: cheaper real estate option
Published at: 06/01/2025 08:06 am
The government of St Kitts and Nevis lowered the qualifying investment price tags for the Caribbean passport.
There are two significant changes regarding the investment amounts of the St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment program.
- The qualifying share cost for condominiums and developments decreased from 400,000 USD to 325,000 USD from the end of October 2024.
- Moreover, the investment amount for a single-family private home decreased from 800,000 USD to 600,000 USD.
The price drop came only a few months after the Caribbean countries with citizenship by investment programs mutually agreed on a standard minimum donation or contribution of 250,000 USD. As Caribbean citizenship costs constantly change, let's examine all the available options for obtaining a passport for St Kitts and Nevis.
