St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Program and Its Routes in the Past
It’s a well-known fact that St Kitts and Nevis’s citizenship program is one of the oldest in the world: to be more specific, it was launched in 1984. Since then, more than 20,000 applicants from all over the world have received passports.
At Mann’s Solutions, we think, that every good investment starts with knowledge about the origin of the investment and the program. With that in mind, before we look at the St. Kitts and Nevis CBI program, let’s look at the country and its history.
St Kitts and Nevis is also known as the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis, which in fact consists of the two-island country and is in the West Indies in Antilles in the beautiful Caribbean Sea.As the islands were the first home of English and French colonists, today St. Kitts and Nevis is also an Independent British commonwealth nation that has only approximately 54,000 residents.
The two islands offer both mountainous regions and stunning ocean views that are magnificent and fabulous place to spend time.
St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Program
As St. Kitts and Nevis government offered the program to the investors for over 35 years, the program has solid and highly efficient processing system as well.
Back in 1984, the government established the ‘Platinum Standard’ program, as when the sugar industry collapsed, the country found itself in dire need of money. Fast-forward to today, the citizenship program of St. Kitts and Nevis’ is one of the most trusted and successful programs out there. The whole process takes only three to four months and gives the new passport holder access to over 150 countries in the world, including EU, UK, Ireland, and Russia.
How Sustainable Growth Fund was developed?
In 2017, 2 hurricanes called Irma and Maria struck the Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. The nation was devastated by the hurricane and suffered severe damage to infrastructure and a lot of other key areas, such as schools, roads, police stations,agriculture, and the fire department. As a result, the damage totalled to $150 million.
This desperate need of financial investment brought a new twist to the citizenship by investment program. As of 2017, some of the eligible investors could gain citizenship contributing just $150,000 to the new Hurricane Relief Fund (the previous price tag was $250,000). This decision resulted in a lot of complaints and soon, the government introduced a more permanent fund — the Sustainable Growth Fund that still accepts investor contributions.
