The opportunity
The original Caribbean citizenship, and still among the strongest.
St. Kitts and Nevis established the first modern citizenship by investment programme in 1984, and it remains a benchmark for the sector. The passport is among the most respected in the Caribbean, with broad visa-free access and a reputation built over four decades.
The process carries no residence requirement, and a single contribution can include a spouse, dependent children and dependent parents.
The routes
How the investment is made.

Approved real estate

Considered within the whole
A second citizenship is rarely a decision on its own. Where you hold it touches your tax position, your succession, and the structures that hold your wealth. We place the choice inside the whole of your affairs — so it strengthens the rest, rather than working against it.
Important information
The basis on which we advise.
The figures shown are minimum qualifying investments and are indicative only. Government charges, due-diligence and processing fees, and professional costs apply in addition, and programme terms, thresholds and benefits are set by the relevant government and change from time to time. Nothing here is an offer or a solicitation.
ORA Black advises on the selection and structuring of these programmes within the whole of your affairs. Regulated financial services, where required, are provided through our partnership with NEBA Private Clients, under the authorisation of the entity licensed to act in the relevant jurisdiction. Advice is given only under a formal engagement, on the basis of your specific circumstances.
