A second passport. Generational security. Caribbean real estate that qualifies from US$325,000.
St. Kitts and Nevis launched the world's very first Citizenship by Investment programme in 1984. More than four decades later, it remains the benchmark — rigorous, well-governed, and recognised globally as the most trusted programme of its kind.
CBI is a legal, government-regulated pathway. You make a qualifying investment — through a contribution or a real estate purchase — and in return, you and your eligible family members receive full citizenship and a passport. No residency requirement. No language test. No bureaucratic complexity.
For many applicants, the programme is about far more than mobility. It is about planning for the next generation, protecting wealth across borders, and securing a stable, low-tax base with genuine Caribbean lifestyle value.
At Nevis Style Realty, we specialise in the real estate routes. We know the qualifying properties, the approved developments, and the process from first enquiry to the day you hold your passport.
Choose the route that best suits your priorities — simplicity, national impact, or ownership of a tangible Caribbean asset. NSR specialises in the two real estate routes.
A direct contribution to national development — supporting food security, green energy, and economic diversification. The simplest route to citizenship with no property responsibilities.
Contribute to a specific approved public project — infrastructure, employment creation, or skills development. Choose your project and see the direct national impact.
Purchase a unit in a government-Approved Development. Citizenship meets Caribbean real estate — a tangible asset resaleable after seven years.
Invest in an Approved Private property — villa, beachfront home, hillside estate, or luxury condominium. The most individualised CBI ownership structure.
All fees in US dollars. Due diligence fees are non-refundable and payable on submission. Post-approval fees are payable after Approval in Principle.

The programme is for reputable applicants of good character. The main applicant must be at least 18 years of age and satisfy the Citizenship Unit's due diligence requirements.
✓ No limit on the number of eligible dependants.
Every application follows a clear, structured pathway. All applications must be submitted through a government-Authorised Agent — this is a legal requirement.
Decide whether you want a contribution route (SISC or PBO) or a real estate route (Developer REO or Private PHO). For real estate, NSR identifies qualifying properties that match your goals. We connect you with the right Authorised Agent to lead the formal process.
Your Authorised Agent assembles all forms and supporting documentation — identity records, civil documents, financial evidence, police certificates, and dependant eligibility documents — and submits the complete file to the Citizenship Unit.
The Citizenship Unit conducts comprehensive due diligence. The main applicant attends a mandatory interview — virtual, in-person in St. Kitts and Nevis, or at another approved location. If successful, an Approval in Principle letter is issued.
Once Approval in Principle is granted, you complete the contribution or real estate purchase and pay remaining post-approval fees. For real estate routes, NSR coordinates closely with your agent and legal counsel throughout.
Once the investment is confirmed, citizenship is granted and your Certificate of Registration is issued. Typical timeline: 120–180 days (4–6 months) from application submission. Document preparation may add time before submission.
