No particular residence permit program in St. Kitts & Nevis is currently available, the country is running a double citizeship program instead. This means that all the foreigners, wishing to reside on the island, can apply directly for gaining country’s citizenship. However, the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis is a member state of Commonwealth Caribbean (CARICOM) which established a Free Movement of People program to ensure all its nationals with a free movement regime between 12 CARICOM member states. Therefore, natives, citizens or residents of one of the CARICOM countries are able to work and live in any of the 12 member states without obtaining a work or a residence permit. There is also another option available – which is to have a company established under the laws of Member States as a CARICOM Company. This option enables immigrants from other countries to stay, live and be employed in St. Kitts and Nevis without doing excessive paperwork.
