Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis

We would like to kindly raise concerns shared by a number of citizens of Saint Kitts and Nevis who obtained their nationality through the Citizenship by Investment Program.

Many of these citizens have faced unfair and discriminatory treatment when traveling to certain countries. This treatment appears to be based on their place of birth or the method through which they obtained citizenship, rather than the passport they legally hold. Such situations are troubling, as all citizens of Saint Kitts and Nevis should be treated equally.

By way of example, and without limitation, some citizens have reported difficulties when traveling to countries such as Taiwan and Egypt, including increased scrutiny or entry challenges.

We respectfully ask the Government to work as quickly as possible to address these concerns through diplomatic channels and to take steps that help improve international confidence in the Saint Kitts and Nevis passport.

In this regard, we would like to suggest further development of the Citizenship by Investment Program by improving transparency and security measures. Possible steps could include introducing stricter residency or mandatory visit requirements, as well as adding biometric data to the passport, such as fingerprint or iris recognition. These measures would enhance security and provide greater protection and credibility for the passport.

We believe that such improvements would help strengthen the international reputation of Saint Kitts and Nevis and ensure fair treatment of all its citizens abroad.

Thank you for your attention and consideration.

اتحاد سانت كيتس ونيفيس



نود أن نثير بلطف المخاوف التي يشترك فيها عدد من مواطني سانت كيتس ونيفيس الذين حصلوا على جنسيتهم من خلال برنامج الجنسية عن طريق الاستثمار.



واجه العديد من هؤلاء المواطنين معاملة غير عادلة وتمييزية عند سفرهم إلى بعض الدول. ويبدو أن هذه المعاملة تستند إلى مكان ميلادهم أو طريقة حصولهم على الجنسية، وليس إلى جواز سفرهم القانوني. إن مثل هذه الأوضاع مثيرة للقلق، إذ ينبغي معاملة جميع مواطني سانت كيتس ونيفيس على قدم المساواة.



على سبيل المثال لا الحصر، أبلغ بعض المواطنين عن صعوبات عند السفر إلى دول مثل تايوان ومصر، بما في ذلك زيادة التدقيق أو تحديات الدخول.



نطلب بكل احترام من الحكومة العمل بأسرع ما يمكن لمعالجة هذه المخاوف من خلال القنوات الدبلوماسية واتخاذ خطوات تساعد على تحسين الثقة الدولية في جواز سفر سانت كيتس ونيفيس.



في هذا الصدد، نقترح تطوير برنامج الجنسية عن طريق الاستثمار من خلال تعزيز الشفافية والتدابير الأمنية. تشمل الخطوات الممكنة فرض شروط إقامة أو زيارات إلزامية أكثر صرامة، بالإضافة إلى إضافة بيانات بيومترية إلى جواز السفر، مثل بصمة الإصبع أو التعرف على قزحية العين. من شأن هذه الإجراءات تعزيز الأمن وتوفير حماية ومصداقية أكبر لجواز السفر.



نعتقد أن مثل هذه التحسينات ستساعد في تعزيز السمعة الدولية لسانت كيتس ونيفيس وضمان المعاملة العادلة لجميع مواطنيها في الخارج.



شكراً لاهتمامكم واهتمامكم.

CBI needs stricter rules if it means we can travel without being harassed. nobody wants to feel like a criminal when they land.

I would recommend that the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis temporarily suspend the CBI program and introduce new rules requiring all new applicants to reside in the country for at least three months. In addition, all adult applicants should be required to obtain a language proficiency certificate. Successful applicants should receive their registration certificates and passports from the nearest embassy following an official ceremony. Furthermore, individuals who obtain citizenship should be required to visit the islands for a minimum of ten days within the first five years of citizenship.

There are also reports from economic citizens of Saint Kitts and Nevis denied entrance to Norway because of the same discrimination between the birth citizens and economic citizens!
