St Kitts and Nevis CBI - Public Benefit Option

Overview

The Public Benefit Option (PBO) is a route within the St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Programme where, instead of a straight donation or a property purchase, you invest in a unit of a government-approved public-benefit project that supports national infrastructure and development. The investment goes to the Citizenship by Investment Unit and, after due-diligence checks, you and qualifying family members can be granted citizenship. As with the other options, amounts, approved projects and family bands are set by the government and change. Always confirm the current terms on the official CIU page before applying.
