Accelereret ansøgningsbehandling
The Accelerated Application Process (AAP) approved by the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis in October 2016 allows applications with the Citizenship by Investment Program to be accelerated to a 60-day processing period. The applications are mostly completed within 45 days. An interested person applying to utilize the AAP will still be required to meet all mandatory criteria and submit the necessary supporting documents to apply for citizenship by investment.
Applications will be given accelerated treatment from the Citizenship by Investment Unit, Due Diligence Providers, and St. Kitts and Nevis Passport Office. As a bonus, this process also includes the application and processing of St. Kitts and Nevis passports.
