Saint Kitts and Nevis, which offers one of the oldest citizenship by investment programs, has officially announced a new third investment option.
Previously, an investor had the opportunity to:
- Make a donation to the Sustainable Growth Fund – an investment option for Saint Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Program launched by Prime Minister Timothy Harris in March 2018. Currently, the minimum investment amount is US$ 250,000.
- Invest in real estate: in a government-approved project or private home. The minimum investment required by law for a real estate development is US$ 400,000 (resaleable after 7 years) or US$ 800,000 (resaleable after 5 years) for each main applicant.
These options remain, but a new one is joining them – the Alternative Investment Option (AIO).
Potential projects must be identified and submitted by the government or may be proposed by individuals with access to funding who approach the government with potential projects not on the government’s infrastructure list.
There will be two AIO categories:
- A Public Good Project Developer (PGPD), where the State owns the asset at the end of an agreement. These projects are fully funded by the PGPD and locked in “up front”. The minimum Unit of Investment will be US$ 175,000. All other fees will apply as per the real estate option.
- A Private Enterprise Developer (PED), where the built or funded asset is privately owned. In this option, the minimum Unit of Investment will be US$ 200,000 , and standard real estate government fees will apply.
*After the changes signed by Memorandum of Agreement amongst Caribbean five in 2024, Public Benefit Option has only one investment route and minimum donation is US$ 250,000.
