Saint Kitts Citizenship by Investment Tumbles 47% as Caribbean Heats Up
A seismic shift is rocking wealth migration. Saint Kitts and Nevis, the 31-year pioneer of citizenship-by-investment, saw program revenue plunge 47% in 2023, signaling a brutal market correction. Facing aggressive pricing from Dominica and St. Lucia, coupled with rising European Union visa scrutiny, the Federation has lost its monopoly on fast-track passport sales. For high-net-worth investors, the window to secure a Plan B in the Eastern Caribbean is narrowing, with Saint Kitts’ premium deteriorating fast. The takeaway: diversify or risk missing the last lifeline to global mobility.
