Ownership of the private home must also extend for at least seven years. After this period, resale to another CBI applicant is possible only with Federal Cabinet approval.

Onboarding process:
After initial screening, we’ll present you with a Client Agreement (CA) to examine and sign. We ensure this process is as straightforward as navigating a table of contents.
After we receive your signed agreement and the retainer fee, our processing team takes over, completing necessary government forms and assembling supporting documents. Should you opt for property investment, we will organize the sales and purchase agreement with the developer, coordinating with both the property developer and the St Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) on your behalf.
For clear and efficient handling, we conduct a comprehensive review of your application prior to submission, ensuring it aligns with the CIU’s standards. Our ongoing collaboration with the CIU is designed to facilitate a prompt and smooth processing experience.
Application review and submission:
Prior to the submission of your documents, we undertake a detailed review of your application to confirm that it meets all requirements set by the CIU. After this, our processing team will carry out their final verifications.
The CIU also performs its own due diligence checks. We will maintain close communication with them to ensure a seamless progression of your application.
The Citizenship by Investment process now mandates interviews for the main applicant and any dependents over the age of 16. Applicants are required to attend these interviews solo, without legal representatives or other support individuals. These interviews can be conducted either online or in person, and certified translators will be provided if needed.
Application for Maltese Citizenship Programme:
You’ll visit our Malta office to collaborate with your RM on the Malta citizenship programme application. Your RM will then arrange for a local notary to certify the required supporting documents in Malta and will coordinate other essential appointments, including medical visits for the necessary medical forms.
Approval in Principle:
Upon receiving Approval in Principle from the Community Malta Agency, the next step is to pay the remaining contribution to the National Development and Social Fund and complete other obligations, such as evidencing your property commitment and making a charitable donation.
Certificate of Registration issued:
The CIU will evaluate your application and, should it be approved, you are then required to fulfil all necessary contributions along with paying any relevant government fees, including due diligence charges. Following this, it’s essential to personally collect your Certificate of Registration. This can be done either in St Kitts or at an authorized consulate or embassy. You’ll be eligible to apply for a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport only after obtaining the Certificate of Registration.
