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.
