Investment Options
St Kitts and Nevis offers three investment options such as the Sustainable Island State Contribution (SISC), Public Benefit Fund and Real Estate. The applicants are asked to contribute through these options in exchange for citizenship in the country.
Industry experts suggested that investors choose SISC as their investment path due to the efficient and straightforward application process. According to them, the option offers fast application processing, compared to others involving lengthy documentation.
The Sustainable Island State Contribution replaced the Sustainable Growth Fund Option. The SISC is committed to advancing the social development of St Kitts and Nevis.
Also known as the “Fund Option”, the SISC is also lauded for its straightforward pathway with the decision being made in 10 weeks. Due to the low agent commission rates, the CBI agents often escape themselves by pitching the SISC to the clients, as per the experts.
Real Estate Investment also provides the same benefits to the investors on the condition that the purchased property can only be resolved after seven years. For those seeking quicker routes, the option could be more challenging and lengthier.
