Citizenship of Saint Kitts and Nevis
- In the course of colonial conquests and civil association in the 20th century, they became part of this community with a fully autonomous internal life. A striking example in this case is St. Kitts and Nevis, two islands united into a state.
- The economy is based mainly on tourism, agriculture and light industry. Sugar has been a major export commodity since 1640, but recently there has been a trend towards diversification. The closure of the state sugar factory in 2005 led to a state deficit. Recently, tourism and offshore finance have been developing. Today, tourism is a major source of foreign currency. Textiles and electronics are also developing.
- Local residents of these tropical nooks and crannies enjoy the benefits afforded by association membership; this explains the significant interest in the opportunity to obtain residency and citizenship of St. Kitts and Nevis through investment.
- The islands are known for their open policy towards those who wish to legalize in this jurisdiction. In 2015, 2016, the countdown of the fourth decade began from the moment of the adoption of the State Program for Simplified Registration of Residence Permit/Economic Citizenship, which opens many avenues for naturalization.
