Recently, Henley & Partners released a new independent ranking of the effectiveness of visas worldwide based on the number of countries citizens can visit without prior visa preparation. Saint Kitts and Nevis was ranked 26th out of 199 countries. Compared to the global passport index ranking released in early 2020, Saint Kitts and Nevis has moved up one place in this ranking.
Currently, the Saint Kitts and Nevis passport allows visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or e-visa access to over 150 countries and regions, including EU and Schengen countries, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong (China), Taiwan (China), Singapore, Russia, India, and Indonesia. For example, applicants for a U.S. visa can generally obtain a 10-year multiple-entry visa.
Les Khan, CEO of the Citizenship by Investment Unit of Saint Kitts and Nevis, stated: "We are honored to continue our work in 2020 with this recognition received by Saint Kitts and Nevis. The Henley Passport Index is a renowned independent global ranking, demonstrating the undisputed prominent position of the Saint Kitts and Nevis passport among all Caribbean countries with citizenship by investment programs."
"Many who choose citizenship by investment programs want to be able to travel globally with confidence, convenience, and freedom. Once the current pandemic-related travel restrictions are lifted, we are pleased to see that the Saint Kitts and Nevis passport will excel in this regard," said the CEO of the Saint Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Unit.
For a long time, Saint Kitts and Nevis has been renowned for operating a platinum-standard citizenship by investment program globally. As a long-established program, the Saint Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Program is highly favored by investors due to its policy stability, confidentiality, fast approval speed, and the ability to include four generations of a family in the application.
It is worth noting that in recent years, the government of Saint Kitts and Nevis has successively promulgated a series of favorable immigration policies, such as providing investors with flexible options for citizenship by investment and launching the Accelerated Application Process (AAP) to shorten processing times, further demonstrating the government's open embrace of global investors, which has been highly praised and recognized by investors.
At the same time, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure everyone's safety while ensuring that all applications are still processed in an orderly manner, the Citizenship by Investment Unit of Saint Kitts and Nevis has launched online services since March 26, 2020, and accepts electronic submissions! For new investor applicants, the Citizenship by Investment Unit of Saint Kitts and Nevis accepts electronic versions of the following documents: Form C1; birth certificate or household register; marriage/divorce certificate; non-objection to immigration application (notarized documents can be provided later); passport; citizen ID card; proof of address (utility bill); purchase and sale agreement; and escrow agreement. During the pandemic, the Citizenship by Investment Unit of Saint Kitts and Nevis accepts unnotarized purchase and sale agreements and escrow agreements.
Currently, the Saint Kitts and Nevis Central Commercial District financing project is hailed as the "most affordable citizenship by investment program among Commonwealth countries," and this financing method is also currently one of the most attractive ways to obtain citizenship by investment in Saint Kitts and Nevis. Through the financing method, the investment amount is lower, saving principal while paying relevant government fees. The whole family of four generations can apply for a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport, enjoy the citizenship benefits of a Commonwealth country, and there is no concern about selling or transferring property after 5 years!
