St Kitts & Nevis: who may lawfully act for you

St Kitts & Nevis grants citizenship by investment through applications that must be filed by an agent licensed by the Citizenship by Investment Unit. An applicant cannot file directly.

Why must an agent file the application?

The programme requires submission through an authorised service provider licensed by the CIU. This is a licensing requirement, not a commercial convention. Every St Kitts entry here links the CIU list on which the licence appears.

Is a licensed agent the same as a lawyer?

No, and the distinction matters. A licensed agent may file, but is not necessarily qualified to advise on the legal consequences of the application — tax residence, existing nationality, disclosure obligations. Agents are labelled as such on every surface of this site.

Is due diligence carried out on applicants?
