Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment Now Accepts Crypto
The Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment Program recently announce several regulations, including acceptance of crypto within its popular program.
The Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment Program has issued a decision to accept cryptocurrencies as a partial source of wealth when applying for Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment.
Global Citizen Consultants, the representative agency for the Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment Program, which we represent through the St. Kitts and Nevis Program Unit, has been informed of the need to submit separate supporting documents and increase due diligence requirements.
Defining Crypto and Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment
The Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment Program is one of the oldest and most respected citizenship after investment programs. This picturesque twin-island nation offers citizenship through real estate investment or non-refundable donations.
High taxes aren’t the only reason investors are seeking options like Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment. Many countries prohibit cryptocurrency trading or impose heavy fines on their citizens, sometimes leading to legal action.
Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and others, rely on a digital payment system free of bank interference. Their value has skyrocketed since their initial appearance on the market, and many traders have made huge profits trading them.
Countries offering Caribbean citizenship by investment, including Saint Kitts and Nevis, accept cryptocurrencies as part of the investment process; however, they require their conversion into physical currencies such as US dollars at the final stage of the investment.
The decision to accept cryptocurrencies in Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment Program is not a new step for the program. Hong Kong preceded this by accepting cryptocurrencies as proof of wealth in 2024.

According to the Saint Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Unit, cryptocurrencies are now permitted when applying for the program, provided they are included in the asset declaration when declaring the investment portfolio as part of their wealth. However, applicants must follow two steps: first, attach supporting documents, and second, pay an additional fee for routine investigations.
Other updates about Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment
In addition to accepting cryptocurrency, the Saint Kitts Citizenship via Investment unit has issued several other beneficial decisions. Most notably, the program now accepts children sponsorship for their parents, or parental sponsorship for their children, when applying as principal investors. Documents proving the relationship between the sponsor and the principal applicant, such as a birth certificate, are required.
The Unit also issued a decision regarding sponsors. Sponsors will be required to provide additional and clear documentation, including new bank statements, letters of employment, proof of address, letters of recommendation, and more, and will be subject to more detailed procedures than before to ensure their eligibility for sponsorship.
Finally, the new decisions canceled the ability for the name changes upon obtaining citizenship. This does not apply to the renewal of a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport in the event of administrative obstacles, as old names are listed in the notes section of the new passport. This process aims to improve the reliability of citizenship records.
