The St.Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment program allows post addition of family dependants (spouse, children, parents) to be granted citizenship, anytime after the main applicant received citizenship (after approval of principle) by paying additional fees. Siblings and grandparents are not eligible under new rules.
For example you became a SKN citizen via CBI, many years ago, when you were single, now whole situation changed, you have a spouse and children and you want them to get St.Kitts passports through the investments you made.
We assist clients for dependant additions through our St.Kitts office. The costs and required documentation are mentioned below. Application forms can be provided upon request.
