Procedure

Months 1–2

Our team prepares all necessary paperwork. If
you opt for a property investment, we manage the agreement with the developer and coordinate with the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) on your behalf. We rigorously check your application for CIU compliance and maintain regular contact with the CIU for efficient processing.

Months 2–3

We scrutinise your application to meet CIU standards before sending it. The CIU performs their own checks, and we coordinate closely to ensure a smooth application. A required interview is now part of the process for main applicants and dependents over 16. The interview can be online or in person, and certified translators are available if needed.

Months 4–5

Once the CIU approves your application, make the required contributions and pay any government fees. You’ll then need to pick up your Certificate
of Registration either in St Kitts or at an approved consulate or embassy.
