The federal investment immigration project in St. Kitts (St. Christopher) and Nevis started at 1984, which requires applicants to make government-approved investments and contribute to the economy of St. Kitts and Nevis. This investment will enable the applicant and his family members to acquire the federal citizenship of Saint Kitts and Nevis.

The provisions of the federal investment immigration plan of Saint Kitts and Nevis are embodied in the second part of Article 3 (5) of the Citizenship Law (1984). The government decides which investment amount and projects meet the standard of "substantial investment" by means of cabinet resolution and are eligible for the investment immigration plan.

When obtaining citizenship under the federal investment immigration program, the applicant and his family enjoy full citizenship treatment. As a federal citizen of Saint Kitts and Nevis, applicants and their families will get passports and enjoy visa-free treatment in more than 65,438+000 countries, including Canada and the whole European Union.

Citizens of the Federated States of Saint Kitts and Nevis can reside in their own countries and Caribbean member States without any time limit. In addition, federal citizens have no tax burden, and even if they live in Saint Kitts and Nevis, they have no direct tax.

As residents of the Commonwealth, they can enjoy some MFN treatment in Britain. For example, children can go to school directly in the UK without a student visa. After graduation, you can work in the UK for two years without applying for a work visa. Compared with some popular immigrant countries in Europe, Saint Kitts' immigration policy is relatively loose, with low threshold and fast processing speed, which attracts the attention of many immigrant applicants. Some experts have analyzed in the Migrants Home Network that the biggest advantage of this project is the loose immigration policy of Saint Kitts. Due to the need of domestic economic upgrading, in recent years, many immigrant countries have introduced immigration policies to attract investors, and when the economy stabilizes, these policies will be stopped by the government. It is against this background that the Saint Kitts Immigration Project can stand out.

In the past two years, due to the advantages of St. Kitts' immigration policy, more and more investors have purchased real estate in St. Kitts in the Caribbean. At that time, Zhang Lan, the chairman of South Beauty, was fired and immigrated to Saint Kitts. In addition, there are more and more applicants who consult the St. Kitts immigration project online. All kinds of signs can show the popularity of the project.
