St. Kitts made headlines last year by doubling the cost of its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme, becoming the first Caribbean nation to do so. This bold move set a regional trend, with other Caribbean nations following suit after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in April 2024, which took effect in July 2024.
Previously, St. Kitts’ CBI pricing was distinct, but now, with new pricing models in the Caribbean starting at a similar level, $200,000 in Dominica, $230,000 in Antigua, $235,000 in Grenada, and $240,000 in St. Lucia, St. Kitts new pricing strategy sits more competitively.
The new structure offers far better value for applicants with multiple dependents. While the cost for a single applicant remains unchanged, families of four can now save up to $100,000.
The real estate investment thresholds stay the same, with minimum investments at $400,000 for a condominium or share in a development (resalable after 7 years) and $800,000 for a private dwelling home (resalable after 7 years).
St. Kitts’ updated donation pricing reaffirms its leadership in the CBI market. Interested applicants should explore this new, more favourable pricing.
Here is a comparison of the old pricing vs. the new pricing for St. Kitts Citizenship by Donation route, known as the Sustainable Island State Contribution (SISC).
