St. Kitts Now Accepting Cryptocurrency for Citizenship Applications
St. Kitts and Nevis is now accepting cryptocurrency as a source of wealth for citizenship applications during their due diligence process. The St. Kitts and Nevis CIU updates notify agents that the changes will require additional due diligence fees and a separate wealth verification step.
While accepting cryptocurrency is not new for investment options, as Hong Kong’s Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES) began accepting cryptocurrency as proof of wealth in 2024, St. Kitts and Nevis has also introduced additional fees for verifying the status of cryptocurrency transactions. Additionally, the St. Kitts and Nevis CIU updates include other measures to further streamline the process.
