As of 2025, St. Kitts & Nevis offers four approved citizenship-by-investment pathways, each governed under the Citizenship Act and 2023 CBI Regulations.

St. Kitts & Nevis offers one of the longest-standing citizenship by investment programs, established in 1984. Investors can obtain citizenship through a government contribution or approved real estate investment, with processing times as fast as 4–6 months.
