Thus, it is extremely important for the Citizenship by Investment Unit, led by Michael Martin to ensure that there is no compromise on the prestige and standard of the programme. Over the years, St Kitts and Nevis has been the front runner of the investment migration industry.
The country has been a remarkable example for the newer CBI Nations and has paved the way for all its successors, helping them thrive. By the virtue of relentless efforts from the CIU, the longest running Citizenship by Investment Programme is still the front runner of the industry.
In the CBI Index featured in the Financial Times has ranked St Kitts and Nevis at the top among twelve nations which offer Citizenship by Investment all over the world. The country has received the honour of being at the top of the Citizenship by Investment Index for the third consecutive time.
