Policy risk

Agencies often omit host-country visa pressure. We publish dated primary-source notes instead.

SISC and programme redesign riskconfirmed

Saint Kitts & Nevis has renamed and repriced contribution options (SISC). Past marketing that cites obsolete Sustainable Growth Fund figures is unreliable — always use the live CIU site.

Dual citizenship?

Official SISC materials state dual citizenship is allowed; confirm against current nationality law for your facts.

Use the Mobility Index page — not undated agency maps. Host-country policy can remove access.

Is this legal advice?

No. Information only — use authorised agents and qualified counsel for applications.

What does Saint Kitts CBI cost for a family of four?

The SISC contribution floor of US$250,000 already covers a main applicant with up to three dependants — a family of four (ciu.gov.kn SISC page, checked 2026-07-31). Additional dependants are priced separately (under 18 +US$25,000; 18+ +US$50,000), plus per-person due-diligence fees. Add only lines you can source.

Is Saint Kitts & Nevis CBI legitimate?

Saint Kitts & Nevis operates a government Citizenship by Investment programme administered by the Citizenship by Investment Unit (ciu.gov.kn). Legitimacy of any specific application depends on compliance with current regulations and due diligence. This page is information, not legal advice.

Can Saint Kitts CBI citizenship be revoked?

Domestic law generally allows revocation for fraud or other disqualifying grounds. pass2port marks the precise statutory revocation text as verifying until it is cited section-by-section against official Saint Kitts sources.

Donation vs real estate — which is cheaper?

The SISC donation floor is US$250,000; approved real estate is US$325,000 (developer route) and adds a holding period (ciu.gov.kn, 2026-07-31). pass2port does not recommend a route — compare the official fee schedule.

Can you buy a Saint Kitts passport, or is it "for sale"?

Not directly, and not from pass2port. A passport itself is never for sale — the government programme grants citizenship through the CIU after an application, a mandatory due-diligence review, and a qualifying SISC contribution or real-estate investment; the passport document follows once citizenship is approved. Apply only through an authorised agent listed on ciu.gov.kn — pass2port does not sell, broker, or facilitate applications.
