Condition of entry to popular destinations for St Kitts and Nevis citizens

Here are the conditions of entry to some of the most popular tourist destinations with a St Kitts and Nevis passport.

Schengen and the EU

Citizens of St Kitts and Nevis can travel to the states of the Schengen area visa-free. That applies only to short-stay visits up to 90 days every 6 months. Note that 90 days is given for all countries in total. For instance, if a traveller has already spent 30 days in Spain, they have only 60 days left to visit other Schengen countries within the same half-year period.

UK

The UK allows visa-free entry for citizens of St Kitts and Nevis for visits that are shorter than 6 months. After they leave the country, they can re-enter the UK only after six months. Travellers should have a passport that’s valid for the whole stay.

St Kitts and Nevis visa-free countries

USA

To visit the USA, citizens of St Kitts and Nevis do need to obtain visas. However, they can apply for a 10-year multiple-entry visa for both tourism and business purposes. The acquisition process takes about two weeks.

Other countries

Singapore. Holders of St Kitts and Nevis passports can visit Singapore visa-free for a maximum of 30 days. However, they will be required to obtain an SG Arrival Card. It’s an electronic landing card that you apply for and receive online.

Hong Kong. Travellers with St Kitts and Nevis passports can visit Hong Kong visa-free. This applies to short stays up to 90 days.

Canada. Like the USA, Canada also requires visas from St Kitts and Nevis citizens. The visitor visa is valid for up to 6 months.

More benefits provided by 
a St Kitts and Nevis passport 

Aside from visa-free travels to 156 countries, St Kitts and Nevis citizenship has more benefits to offer.

Tax optimisation

St Kitts and Nevis doesn’t tax personal income, wealth, or inheritance tax. Non-residents of the country do have to pay a 15% tax on dividends, interest, or royalties from a source within the state. To become a tax resident of St Kitts and Nevis, one has to spend at least 183 days a year on the islands.

Resident companies of St Kitts and Nevis pay 33% corporate tax on all profits. Non-resident businesses, on the other hand, pay the tax only on income from operations within the state. Aside from that, companies pay VAT of up to 17%.

International companies, meaning companies working with partners abroad, can be exempt from taxes for 15 years.

Running an international business

Citizens of St Kitts and Nevis can register their company here. This might be beneficial when working with foreign partners as the payments can be made bypassing foreign exchange control regulations. 

The jurisdiction also provides confidentiality for company owners, straightforward incorporation procedures, and access to international banking services, which makes it easier to conduct cross-border operations.

Family members can join the application

Those who obtain a St Kitts and Nevis passport via the citizenship by investment program can include their close family member in the application. Here’s who this rule applies to:

  • the investor’s spouse of the opposite sex;
  • the investor’s children under 25 years old who are fully financially dependent on the investor;   
  • the investor’s parents if they are over 55 years old and fully financially dependent on the investor.

Citizenship is hereditary. Future children of the investor will obtain St Kitts and Nevis citizenship with all its benefits mentioned above without having to make any investments of their own.

Why the St Kitts and Nevis citizenship program and the country's tax system are attractive for investors

3 investment options for a St Kitts and Nevis passport

There are several ways to obtain a St Kitts and Nevis passport, including marriage to a citizen, naturalisation, and participation in the citizenship by investment program. The last method is the fastest.

2. Real estate purchase — $325,000 or more. The applicant acquires a share in a government-approved real estate project. Investors can earn an income of 2 to 5% per year from leasing the property.

If the applicant is willing to invest $600,000 or more, they may purchase a single-family private dwelling designated as an Approved Private Home.

The property can be sold after 7 years. 

3. Public Benefit Option — $250,000 or more. Applicants invest in projects that are considered Approved Public Benefit Projects.
