• Single request contribution: $250,000 dollars;
• Two applications: $300,000 dollars;
• Families of three to four persons: $350,000

2) Real estate investment (from $400,000)

Applicants can apply for citizenship by investing $250,000 in this type of program.

02 Policy stability and diversity of investment options

1) Historical endorsement and policy continuity

The St. Kitts CBI program has been through international policy adjustments and economic fluctuations, and has always maintained a stable core framework, with no sudden policy changes or program closures.

The 2025 program has been ranked number one in the Caribbean in the Global Citizenship by Investment Index, with scores covering the dimensions of stability, due diligence rigor, and status content.

The government continues to optimize the rules, for example, by relaxing the age limit for subsidiary applicants to 30 in 2025 and removing the requirement for children aged 18-25 to be in full-time schooling, and only needing to prove financial dependence on the principal applicant.

2) Flexible investment path

The program offers a variety of investment options to meet different needs:

• Sustainable Island Countries Contribution (SISC): A one-time donation by the principal applicant and up to three family members to support the economic and social development of St. Kitts, with a minimalist process and no asset holding requirements.
• Real estate investment: Invest in government-approved real estate projects and hold for 5 years for investors looking for asset recovery.
• Donation of public welfare projects: For designated pro bono projects, suitable for applicants who focus on social impact.
• Private residential investment: Investment in private residences, with holding period subject to compliance, suitable for high-end investors.

04 St. Kitts and Venice Citizenship by Investment Program Advantages

In addition to the stability and transparency of the policy design, the St. Kitts Citizenship by Investment program offers a number of practical advantages that are particularly popular with high net worth applicants.

1）Visa-free for over 150 countries and regions

St. Kitts passport holders have visa-free access to more than 150 countries and regions, including the United Kingdom, the Schengen Area of the European Union, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Singapore and other countries, making global access extremely convenient. It is a very practical and valuable status configuration for families who travel frequently for business or who wish to have more freedom of choice for their children's education.

(2) Short approval cycle and concise procedures

The entire application process takes approximately 3-6 months, with no interview or landing required. There is no immigration supervision requirement, which is very efficient for applicants who wish to obtain a globally-accessible status quickly.

(3) Adoption of the "approve first, pay later" mechanism for projects

This means that applicants are not required to make formal donations until they have received a letter of approval from the government, which greatly reduces the risk of investing funds in advance. Applicants do not need to worry about problems such as locking up their funds or inconvenient refunds, which makes it significantly safer than traditional investment programs.

4) More relaxed requirements for sources of funding

During the application process, the government of St. Kitts does not require a cumbersome explanation of the source of funds, only proof that the funds came from legitimate sources. This is extremely flexible and convenient for business owners or applicants with complex asset structures.

5) No global tax system, more flexible assets

St. Kitts has a "territorial tax system" whereby overseas income, asset gains and inheritance are not taxed, and citizens are not taxed on income, interest, gifts, property and inheritance outside of their home country. Moreover, St. Kitts citizenship can effectively help applicants cope with the pressure of global tax transparency brought about by the CRS (Common Reporting Standard), and further enhance the security of property and planning flexibility. This is one of the key reasons why many international families choose Caribbean status.

6) Dual nationality

The Federal Government of St. Kitts and Nevis recognizes dual citizenship, and citizens can retain their Chinese identity without the Government informing any Government of their naturalization.

7) Children's education

From elementary school to high school, you will enjoy free British education, and you will also have the opportunity to enroll in international schools in China as a foreigner without taking the written examination, and to get low scores to enter key universities in China.

8) Offshore Finance

After registering an offshore holding company in St. Kitts, you can invest back in China as a foreign businessman and will receive more benefits.
