Citizenship by Investment Requirements

Efficiently acquire your new passports in two easy steps. We will guide you through the entire process from start to finish.
Step One: Complete the Application Process for Citizenship
First, the preliminary application process will take about 3-4 weeks. During this time we will work with you to fill in the application forms and gather the supporting documents.
Supporting documents that need be to submitted with the completed application include your references, police report, medical certificate, bank statements plus your passport photos.
The completed application package will then be reviewed by our legal team before submission. Rest assured, our application approval rate is 100% after the legal review.
Successful government review will take 30-60 days depending on their current backlog. After government approval is received, we proceed to the second step which requires you to place the investment.
Step Two: Make the Investment for Citizenship
The best investment option allows you to purchase an interest in a government approved real estate development which produces an investment yield. Sell the asset at the end of the holding period to a new applicant while retaining citizenship in perpetuity.
Investment in the best real estate option supports the local tourism industry. This encourages high quality tourism and increases the amount of time tourists spend at the resort. As a result, dividend payouts to CBI shareholders are sustained at higher levels. In addition, real estate ownership provides a local nexus to your new country of citizenship.
Alternatively, successful applicants can qualify for citizenship by making a nonrefundable contribution into the government’s economic development fund. Although the initial outlay is less, the contribution is nonrefundable and produces no investment yield.
St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment
St Kitts is a long standing tax haven country located in the Eastern Caribbean. It was also the first country in the world to establish citizenship by investment. As a result, many other countries have used St Kitts and Nevis as the inspiration for their citizenship by investment programs.
In addition, the country has granted citizenship to thousands of qualified applicants since its inception in 1984. St Kitts citizens enjoy tax free status on all their personal income, no inheritance tax, wealth tax or gift tax.
Furthermore, the twin island federation offers very strict banking laws which protect your privacy in all financial matters. St Kitts and Nevis citizens also benefit from local registration of companies and trusts. Banking secrecy is paramount to the St Kitts tax haven.

St Kitts Real Estate Benefits
Share ownership in a real estate investment trust provides St Kitts citizenship investors with superior privacy protection. Indeed, the purchase is confidential since your name will not appear in the public land registry. Ownership of the property is in the name of the trust.
As a result, the privacy of your family is more secure. There is no public record that would reveal the identity of anyone who used a St Kitts real estate investment to qualify for citizenship.
The St Kitts and Nevis government will allow citizenship applicants to sell the property at the end of the 7 year holding period to a new applicant for the citizenship program. As a result, you are able to recoup your capital while retaining your passport in perpetuity. Plus, proceeds from the hotel’s profit sharing program are tax free.

Support Climate Neutrality with Citizenship by Investment
Dominica is a citizenship by investment country that aims to be 100% carbon free by 2030. This lofty goal is highly attainable thanks to Dominica’s geothermal power sources which are located on the island. As a result, Dominica has excess natural resources available to supply the entire island with carbon free energy.
The energy conversion is happening in real time with the first carbon neutral power source coming online by the end of 2023. The project is projected to meet 90% of the island’s electricity demand. In addition, they plan to begin exporting excess power to neighboring islands.
This bodes well for all Dominica citizens. Revenue from the citizenship by investment program is essential to support the carbon free objectives set by the Dominica government. Therefore, investors in the citizenship program have the opportunity to help end global warming and protect the most beautiful Caribbean island from climate change.
