Every applicant has different investment goals, family circumstances, and long-term plans. Choosing the right pathway depends on your personal objectives and the investment option that best meets your needs.

New Biometric Passport Requirements
St. Kitts and Nevis has introduced a National Biometric Enrolment and Passport Modernisation Programme to strengthen passport security and align its travel documents with internationally recognised standards.
For new Citizenship by Investment applications submitted from 14 April 2026, biometric enrolment forms a mandatory part of the application process. Once an application reaches Approval in Principle, applicants can book an appointment at an authorised biometric collection centre.
During the appointment, standard biometric information is securely collected, including:
- Fingerprints
- Digital facial photograph
- Digital signature
- Additional biometric information where applicable under international standards
The programme is designed to improve identity verification, strengthen border security, and protect the integrity of the St. Kitts and Nevis passport. It does not change or affect an applicant’s citizenship status.
ARMS Consulting Services helps clients understand the biometric enrolment requirements, prepare the required documents, and complete each step with confidence.
