The government designates a preferred due diligence agency, which does checks using multiple international and local sources, including Interpol, World-Check, and other governmental institutions.
Documents, including passports, birth certificates, and bank statements, must be submitted as part of the process, and the agency carefully reviews each applicant's background to ensure they are of good character and pose no risk to St. Kitts and Nevis security.

To begin the application process, Citizenship Invest (CI) will pre-screen your passport. Once your passport is cleared and we are sure that we can submit your application to the Government, a down payment for professional fees is payable to start the application.
At this stage a CI document collection specialist will guide and support you collecting the required documents. Once your file is complete and ready for submission, Government Processing Fees, Due Diligence Fees, and CI submission fees are payable. CI will submit your application on your behalf.
The Government contracts a third-party Due Diligence agency. After completing the necessary background checks, a due diligence report will be generated by the agency and submitted to the Government for evaluation. The result of this assessment will define the outcome of your Citizenship application. If your application is approved, you will receive an invitation to make the required donation or investment and complete the process.
Once your Citizenship Certificate and passport are issued, the remaining balance of CI’s professional fee will be due for payment.
