St Kitts and Nevis runs one of the oldest citizenship by investment programmes, and it is open to Turkish nationals who pass due diligence. This page sets out how the route works and points you to the official source.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
There is no nationality bar on Turkish citizens. Turkey is not on the list of restricted countries for this programme, so a Turkish applicant is assessed on the same terms as most other nationalities, subject to mandatory due diligence checks run for the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
Applicants are generally expected to be at least eighteen, hold a clean criminal record and show that funds are from a lawful source. A main applicant can include a spouse and qualifying dependants. Confirm the current age and dependant rules with the official authority before you apply.
The headline option is the Sustainable Island State Contribution, a payment to a government fund that is not refundable. The published contribution starts at USD 250,000 for a single applicant or a family of up to four people, with set amounts for additional dependants. A separate approved real estate route also exists.
We do not name or recommend any firm. To compare vetted advisors who handle Turkish cases, use Get Matched. Always confirm the current routes and amounts with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
Processing time depends on the option chosen, the completeness of your file and the due diligence outcome. An accelerated review option has been offered at times. Confirm the current standard and accelerated timelines with the official authority rather than relying on older figures.
Plan for the qualifying contribution or investment, government and due diligence fees per applicant, passport and certificate charges, and independent professional fees that are set separately. The table is a checklist of cost lines, not a quote.
| Cost line | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sustainable Island State Contribution | From USD 250,000 | Single applicant or family of up to four, not refundable |
| Additional dependants | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Amount varies by age |
| Due diligence and government fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Charged per applicant |
| Professional fees | Varies by case | Set independently, ask for a written scope |
