By basing this unit in Europe, Saint Kitts is demonstrating its commitment to maintaining a global presence and ensuring that its CBI program remains transparent and accountable.

In a pivotal meeting held in St. Kitts and Nevis, the “Caribbean Five” countries agreed to six crucial stipulations for their Citizenship Investment Programs (CIPs), as proposed by the United States of America.

  1. Collective agreement on the treatment of denials
