Citizenship by investment
St Kitts & Nevis
The Caribbean’s longest-running citizenship programme, advised with the same care as any other mandate.
St Kitts & Nevis introduced citizenship by investment in 1984 and remains a reference point for the region. The programme grants citizenship through a government-approved contribution or investment, without a requirement to relocate.
Hampton & Kent treats it as one of three Caribbean options, not as a default. Suitability depends on your family, your timeline and the unit’s current requirements — including any interview.
