Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis: The head of the Citizenship by Investment Unit, Michael Martin is constantly upholding the platinum standard of the CBI Programme by making significant strides and efforts.
The programme has become as one of the most appealing options among high-net-worth-individuals and potential stakeholders across the world. Martin is making a significant improvement to fill the gaps in CIU.
He aims to enhance the programme and made it a platform for the investors seeking a safe and secure lifestyle. St. Kitts and Nevis has become the Caribbean nation to double their minimum investment programme.
Noting this, the increase in the minimum investment value was one of the guidelines that the United States and European Union authorities have set for the Caribbean’s CBI nations. Other guidelines aimed at increasing the security of the program include strengthening due diligence and investigation of the applicants.
The CIU of the twin-island nation focuses to make this process extremely strict and robust. The background and the identity of every individual is checked thoroughly before granting or rejecting citizenship. It ensures that the citizenship is acquired by an honest and credible person and maintains the transparency, accountability and integrity of the programme.
Moreover, the individuals over the age of 16 have to go through mandatory interviews before getting an access to the citizenship.
Various innovative steps have been taken to promote the Sustainable Island State Contribution (SICS) as a paramount option for the potential stakeholders and investors. The CIU Head assured the investors to offer the financial flexibility and other benefits such as,
- Political stability
- Secure and safe future
- Best healthcare
- Education opportunities
- Citizenship Legacy
- Business opportunities
The Citizenship by Investment programme has achieved an exceptional growth and positioned as the most trusted investment programme among the investors. The revenue generated by this programme is being used to develop the infrastructure of St. Kitts and Nevis like schools and hospitals.
