The St Kitts and Nevis citizenship by investment program is the only CBI program offering fast track procedure for processing citizenship applications within 60 day period.
The Accelerated Application Process (AAP) approved by the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis in October 2016 allows applications with the Citizenship by Investment Program to be accelerated to a 60 day processing period.

Citizenship Applications will be given an accelerated treatment from the Citizenship by Investment Unit, Due Diligence Providers and the St. Kitts and Nevis Passport Office. This process also includes the application and processing of the St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis passport.
