To qualify for citizenship of St. Kitts and Nevis under the real-estate option of its Citizenship-by-Investment Program, the Government requires an investment in designated real estate with a value of at least US$ 400,000.
Besides this investment requirement, the following processing and due diligence fees are payable to the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis:

• US$ 50,000 for the main applicant
• US$ 25,000 for the spouse
• US$ 25,000 for any dependent children below the age of 18
• US$ 50,000 for any dependent and unmarried children older than 18 but younger than 25.
• Children over 18 years but below 25 must be in a full time learning institution and fully supported by parents.
• US$ 7,000 due diligence fee per person older than 16 included in the application

Additionally to these fees, real-estate buyers should be aware that there are also purchase costs (mainly compulsory insurance fund contribution and conveyance fees) of approximately 4 – 5% of the purchase price.
Only villas and condominium units from an approved developer will qualify for citizenship.
