St. Kitts Limited Time Offer Extended In Response to Unwavering Demand
The 30th of June 2023 marked the original deadline of the limited time discount to the Sustainable Growth Fund (SGF), the primary donation option of the St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme, as announced by the nation’s Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU). The Sustainable Growth Fund represents the most affordable route to obtaining citizenship of St. Kitts and Nevis; the non-refundable donation directly contributes to local development, social initiatives, cultural preservation, and national
projects.
In response to investor’s unprecedented interest in the reduced investment option, Michael Martin announced an extension to the offer period. The head of the St. Kitts and Nevis CIU confirmed the offer would run until the 31st of January 2024, giving investors seven additional months to take advantage of the Sustainable Growth Fund’s lowered base donation cost. Additionally, Martin noted the consistent adaptability and value of the world’s first Citizenship by Investment Programme, and the desire of savvy international investors to associate with secure migration programmes underpinned by robust due diligence.
The extended limited time offer (LTO) reduces the minimum investment cost by $25,000, temporarily lowering the minimum qualifying citizenship to $125,000 for an individual applicant, $150,000 for the main applicant and their accompanying spouse, and $170,000 for a family of 4. Further contributions of $25,000 and $10,000 must be made for additional dependents over 18 years of age and dependents under 18 years of age respectively. Under this offer, investors are also given access to the accelerated application process (AAP), lowering the average processing time to 60 days at no extra fee.
