The two main routes are the Sustainable Island State Contribution, a nonrefundable contribution to the government, and an approved real estate investment. Family members can be included, with additional contributions for dependents. The contribution route bundles the government processing cost into the headline figure.
St Kitts and Nevis offers a standard track and an accelerated track for an extra fee. Processing commonly runs a few months from a complete application to a decision, followed by passport issuance. Confirm the current processing windows with the authority.
Budget for the contribution or the qualifying property purchase, due diligence fees per applicant, passport and certificate fees and any professional support. Family size changes the total. Confirm the current figures with the official authority.
