In 1984 St. Kitts and Nevis introduced the first Citizenship by Investment Program, soon after the other Caribbean countries followed. Some of these programs are the oldest, most reputable programs that are still functioning today. Much like the European Programs, which were modeled on these programs, they aim to increase domestic investments. In return, the investors obtain the right to live and enjoy all the benefits that the country’s systems provide. While most programs are built around a similar framework, each has its specific requirements and offers different benefits.
