Visa-Free Destinations for Saint Kitts and Nevis Citizens
The Saint Kitts and Nevis passport offers significant travel opportunities: citizens can visit over 154 countries with visa-free or simplified entry. However, it’s important to note that not all destinations are completely visa-free — many require an eVisa or visa on arrival.

Saint Kitts and Nevis citizens can visit the UK visa-free for up to 180 days per year. Conditions apply: no work or marriage registration, proof of funds, and a return ticket are required. In the Schengen Area, visa-free travel is permitted for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Starting in 2026, travelers will need to apply for ETIAS — a digital authorization confirming no security risks. Keep in mind: visa-free access allows travel but does not confer work rights or long-term residence. For the US, citizens still need a B-1/B-2 visa.

In Canada, travelers can apply for an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) if they currently hold or previously held a Canadian or US visa.
eVisas and eTAs are applied for online, often approved the same day or within a few days, with no need to visit consulates or attend interviews. Visas on arrival are issued directly at the airport upon presenting a passport, photo, fee, and application form.

Passport of Saint Kitts and Nevis — a powerful tool for international mobility.
It allows convenient travel planning with minimal visa formalities, use of simple online solutions for eVisa and eTA, and visits to key global regions without visas or with simplified visa regimes. Our team offers support at every stage: from route analysis and application submission to border accompaniment and consultations on migration strategies.

Visa features of travel with the passport of Saint Kitts and Nevis

Some countries require obtaining an electronic visa or visa on arrival. Such countries include India, Turkey, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and others. The eVisa process takes little time: from 24 to 72 hours. It is carried out through official online portals where you need to upload your passport, photo, and pay the fee.
Citizens of Saint Kitts and Nevis have visa-free access to the Schengen Area countries and the United Kingdom, with the possibility to stay up to 90 days within 180 days. However, it is important to remember that this applies exclusively to short-term stays for tourist or business purposes, without the right to work or study. Travel to the USA and Canada requires obtaining a visa. But the passport of Saint Kitts and Nevis is not on the list of countries with increased migration risk, which significantly increases the chances of successful visa issuance.

Advantages of citizenship of Saint Kitts and Nevis

The program was launched back in 1984 and is considered the oldest and most respected in the world among citizenship by investment schemes. Over decades it has established itself as a reliable tool for asset protection and simplification of international movement.
One of the main advantages is the speed of processing. The passport can be obtained in just 4–6 months, without the need to visit the country and without residency requirements. The country provides visa-free access to more than 150 countries, including the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Citizenship of Saint Kitts and Nevis also opens access to a favorable tax system. The country has no taxes on global income, dividends, inheritance, or capital gains. This allows significant optimization of personal and corporate tax burdens without the risk of automatic exchange of tax information. Saint Kitts and Nevis does not apply the CRS system to local companies and tax residents.
An additional advantage is a high level of confidentiality. Information about new citizens is not published or transferred to third countries. This is especially important for investors seeking to keep their decisions and assets private.
Finally, the citizenship program provides the possibility to pass the status by inheritance, making it a long-term investment solution. Your children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy all the benefits of the second passport without additional costs or procedures.

Why Saint Kitts and Nevis: comparison with other programs

The passport of Saint Kitts and Nevis continues to hold a leading position among citizenship by investment programs, offering an optimal combination of cost, processing speed, and global reputation.
Unlike Malta, where obtaining citizenship can take 12–18 months and cost applicants from €600,000, the Saint Kitts and Nevis program allows obtaining a passport in just 4–6 months with a minimum contribution from $250,000.
Compared to Turkey, where citizenship is granted for investments from $400,000 but the international reputation of the passport remains less prestigious, Saint Kitts and Nevis offers visa-free access to more than 150 countries, including the United Kingdom and the Schengen Area.
Among Caribbean programs, Saint Kitts and Nevis ensures the fastest application processing, including an expedited option. Moreover, the country maintains a high international reputation due to a stable economy, transparent citizenship policies, and active cooperation with the EU, the UK, and FATF. Requirements for participants are minimal: no language knowledge, residency, or interviews required.

How to obtain citizenship of Saint Kitts and Nevis: step-by-step instructions

The first step is to choose a suitable investment option. The government has reformed the contribution mechanism by introducing the Sustainable Island State Contribution (SISC) — a sustainable government fund. Currently, two main paths are available:

Non-refundable contribution to SISC — from $250,000 for one applicant;
Investment in approved real estate — from $400,000 with the possibility of resale after 7 years.

Each option has its features, tax consequences, and impact on processing time, so it is important to get professional legal advice at this stage.
All applicants aged 16 and older undergo a mandatory due diligence check conducted by the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) in cooperation with international agencies. The source of funds, absence of criminal records, financial history, and involvement in political activities (PEP status) are verified. The check lasts on average 30–45 days. With the participation of a professional consultant, all potential risks are identified in advance, reducing the likelihood of rejection.
The next stage is preparation and submission of documents:

Passport, birth certificates, police clearance certificates;
Financial documents confirming income and assets;
Medical certificates;
Proof of family composition (if the application is collective).

The law firm performs preliminary verification, arranges apostilles and notarized translations, completes CIU forms, and submits them for consideration.
After a positive decision by the CIU, you receive preliminary approval and pay the chosen form of investment. Then the final citizenship grant decision is made, naturalization certificates are prepared, and the passport is issued. The total processing time is from 90 to 120 days; with expedited processing, it can be as short as 60 days (with an additional fee).
The Saint Kitts and Nevis program is suitable for obtaining family citizenship. You can include a spouse, dependent children up to 25 years old, parents of the applicant and spouse over 65 years old (in some cases from 55 years old). New family members can be added later upon payment of the corresponding fee. The size of the contribution to the SISC fund depends on the number of participants in the application. A lawyer will help optimize the structure and calculate the total amount.
Our team provides a full range of services: analysis of your situation and selection of the optimal option, collection and preparation of all necessary documents, legal due diligence for refusal grounds, interaction with the CIU on behalf of the client, monitoring deadlines, and safe passport delivery.
We maintain full confidentiality, act within the laws of Saint Kitts and Nevis, and work only with accredited agents and banks. If you want to know whether citizenship of Saint Kitts and Nevis suits you and what investment structure would be optimal, contact us for a consultation right now.
