PBO National Housing Corporation

The St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Program, through the Public Benefit Option with the National Housing Corporation, gives an applicant aged 18 or older citizenship for life that applies to future generations, with multiple citizenship permitted. The route is a USD 250,000 donation to the National Housing Corporation (NHC), a statutory body whose mission is to add affordable housing for the people of St. Kitts and Nevis.

The funds raised pay for new home construction, finance NHC homes with more flexible mortgage terms, support housing assistance that widens access to home ownership, and go toward ongoing projects for immediate effect. An application can include a spouse, children under 18, children 18 to 30 who apply before their 30th birthday, and parents over 55 living with the applicant. Citizens travel visa-free to over 150 jurisdictions and pay no personal taxes, with no language, residence, education, or management experience requirement. Processing runs 5 to 7 months.
