About the Citizenship-by-Investment Unit (CIU)
The Citizenship-by-Investment Unit (CIU) is the Government Authority which handles all matters concerning Citizenship-by-Investment in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.
The CIU was established following the implementation by the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis of a series of measures aimed at strengthening the already tight regulatory mechanisms currently in place in respect of its Citizenship by Investment Program. This Program has been in place for more than two decades and has distinguished itself from many other similar programs by rigidly enforced investment requirements and meticulous due diligence procedures that seek to ensure that only persons of good character are attracted to the Federation through this program. The CIU ensures that the high standards of the Program are maintained at all times.
The Office of the Prime Minister, which plays a key role in investment promotion, has been assigned responsibility for the program and has established this dedicated Citizenship-by-Investment Unit under the leadership of the Government’s Legal Advisor, Dr. Ken Ballantyne.
