The St.Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by investment programs offers two types of donation routes to investors seeking second citizenship. We explain key differences between the two options below..
SISC Contribution
The Sustainable Island State Contribution (SISC) provides a unique opportunity to invest in the future of St. Kitts and Nevis. This investment option under the Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme enables discerning investors to contribute directly to the nation’s social and economic progress across seven development priorities. SISC contributions support key initiatives that strengthen St. Kitts and Nevis’ economic, social, and environmental landscape using seven pillars of prioritisation.
- Increasing local food production
- Transitioning to Green Energy
- Diversifying the economy
- Attracting and supporting sustainable industries
- Evolving the Creative Economy
- Recovering from the impacts of Covid-19
- Expanding social protections and safety nets for vulnerable groups
Public Benefit Option (PBO)
The Public Benefit Option provides the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis with a reliable way to achieve its capital investment goals while fostering economic growth. Qualified investors can contribute to significant projects that benefit the nation.
The PBO option can be slightly expensive for families because of applicable government fees, unlike SISC donation.
