The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis are two beautiful Caribbean islands that combine the unique attractions of spectacular beaches, majestic mountains, a rich and diverse culture and history. The islands have entertainment galore and activities to engage your body and enrich your mind.
St. Kitts is the larger island and feels that way. In the bustling capital called Basseterre, you can shop, visit many bars and boutiques or take in the antique architectural marvels.

Both programs allow the acquisition of citizenship by a direct contribution to development projects in the nation. By option one, a family or individual qualifies to apply for citizenship through an investment in designated real estate.

Persons and their dependents opting for the Real Estate citizenship option must invest a minimum of US $400,000 in a government approved real estate development project made up of either land only, or land and house/villa.
