[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]St Kitts Targets Families With Citizenship-by-Investment Program Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n The St Kitts and Nevis government has approved several changes to the country\u2019s citizenship-by-investment program<\/a>, aimed to draw more applications from families.<\/p>\n The changes include a number of alterations to ages of dependents and a lowering of investment thresholds for larger families.<\/p>\n Under the changes, the age limited for parents and grandparents of the main applicant has been reduced from 65 to 55.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, the age limit for financially dependent offspring has been raised from 25 to 30.<\/p>\n The government also clarified that children under 16 born after the main applicant received citizenship will no longer be processed by the country\u2019s Citizenship-by-Investment Unit. Instead, these children can be added with a direct application to the Ministry of National Security.<\/p>\n Further alterations were made to the investment thresholds under the Sugar Industry Diversity Foundation stream.<\/p>\n Previously different thresholds existed for a single applicant, an applicant plus three family members, an applicant plus five family members and an applicant plus seven family members.<\/p>\n Under new rules, the five and seven family member categories will be eliminated, and any further dependents above three will required an investment of US$25,000.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]New Thresholds<\/strong><\/p>\n
