RIF Trust Covers the Latest St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship Announcement
Leila Bagheri is RIF Trust’s Caribbean citizenship expert and she’s responding to the latest St Kitts and Nevis CIU update.
Leila closely follows St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment developments in particular and all the Eastern Caribbean countries providing Citizenship by Investment in general.
Our specialist explains that “in November 2024, we made you aware of new requirements for securing St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship.”
“One month on and things have changed again.”
“RIF Trust’ news stories demonstrate the importance of remaining informed. Whenever we hear of a change in a program, we ensure that we react in the best possible way by letting you know about the development.”
The St Kitts and Nevis CIU Update on Apostillation Requirements
In the world of Residency and Citizenship by Investment, it’s about who as well as what you know. On Tuesday, December 3, 2024, we received an email from the Communications Division of the St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Unit.
The 1st Floor of the Ministry of Finance Building in St Kitts’ Golden Rock houses the world’s original CIU. It’s the birthplace of modern Citizenship by Investment, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
“Following our recent correspondence on the requirement for documents from China to be apostilled”, the email begins, “please note that we will be waiving this requirement and accepting notarized documents from China up to 1 July 2025.”
This short statement of intents continues with the following sentence: “We will issue further communication on or before this date regarding the process to be implemented thereafter. ”
This removes a layer of complication for Chinese investors. St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment is regarded as a top-level program that guarantees security and stability.
Your Path to St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment in 2024
