Obtaining second citizenship offers unmatched freedom, flexibility, and security. Caribbean and Pacific island nations such as St. Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, Grenada, Antigua & Barbuda, and Vanuatu have established Citizenship by Investment Programs (CIPs) that allow qualified applicants to obtain a second passport in exchange for a government-approved investment.
These programs are designed to attract high-net-worth individuals who wish to enhance their global mobility, access favorable tax systems, and secure a second home for their families—all with minimal residency or physical presence requirements.
The St. Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment Program is the oldest and one of the most respected in the world. It offers fast-track citizenship within 3–6 months through two main options:
Donation to the Sustainable Island State Contribution Fund (starting at USD $250,000 for a single applicant)
