Legal Basis
The Citizenship Program of St. Kitts & Nevis was established in 1984, which makes this the longest established citizenship-by-investment program. Regulations regarding citizenship-by-investment are contained in Part II, Section 3 (5) of the Citizenship Act, 1984. The actual government policies with regard to the Citizenship-by-Investment program (such as investment requirements etc.) are set by Government through Cabinet Decision.
