St Kitts and Nevis passport renewal: application process and costs

St Kitts and Nevis passport is renewed every 10 years. This is a standard term for most Caribbean countries — their programs can be compared in a special guide.

In order not to lose the benefits that St Kitts and Nevis citizenship gives, it is important to change your passport in time. To do this, you need to fill out passport renewal forms and pay fees.

Investors who participate in the St Kitts and Nevis citizenship program receive a naturalisation certificate along with their passport. This document confirms the received status.

The certificate of naturalisation does not need to be changed — it is issued for life. It is important to keep it, because on its basis new passports are issued. But if it gets lost, investors can request a new certificate to be issued — it costs $500.

The investor receives passports for himself and his family after he successfully passes Due Diligence and makes an investment. The citizenship program department starts issuing documents as soon as it receives confirmation of the funds being credited.

The passport is issued within 4 weeks from the moment the investment is credited. It is then sent to us as a licensed agent for the program. We hand over the passport to the applicant in our office or arrange delivery to the address convenient for the investor.

• a certificate of no criminal record,

• photos for a new document.

Changing the name of a citizen is another reason to renew a passport besides the expiration of 10 years. To change the name, it’s necessary to fill out several government forms, and attach a previous passport and a certificate of naturalisation.

The process of replacing a passport takes from 8 to 12 weeks. It is completely remote and quite simple. Registration of documents and payment of fees for a citizen over 16 years old will cost about $ 4,000.
