St. Kitts and Nevis has once again earned top international recognition, with its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme ranked number one worldwide for the fifth year in a row. The accolade comes from the 2025 CBI Index, the leading independent report that assesses CBI programmes across the globe.

The Index measures each programme against nine areas, including application processing, due diligence, investment flexibility, and long-term reliability. This year, St. Kitts and Nevis secured an overall score of 87%, with perfect marks in categories such as efficiency, transparency, product certainty, investment options and freedom of movement.

Introduced in 1984, the Federation’s CBI Programme is not only the first of its kind but has also built a strong track record of trust and stability. The latest ranking reinforces its reputation as a reliable choice for investors while supporting the nation’s ongoing development.

Executive Chairman of the CBI Unit, His Excellency Calvin St. Juste, welcomed the achievement, expressing:

“To be named the best Citizenship by Investment Programme in the world for the fifth consecutive year is a testament to the trust, integrity, and vision that guide our work at the Citizenship by Investment Unit. St. Kitts and Nevis remains the first and the finest, offering investors unmatched certainty, efficiency, and value while contributing directly to the sustainable development of our nation.”
