How long does it take for an investor family of five to obtain St. Kitts and Nevis passports?

I’m planning a trip in December with my family and I thought instead of having to keep applying for Schengen visas I could just get a St. Kitts citizenship and never have to worry about that again. But my question is, if I start the application process now, can it all be done remotely and how long would it take for me and my family to have our passports? Would it be before December?

    Usually, the Citizenship by Investment Unit requires about 90 days to process an application. Your time being very short, I would not promise you it can be done for several reasons but the main one is because in the event you are required to submit further documentation after your due diligence is completed, you will be facing an extended processing time. It will also take a minimum of 2 weeks to obtain and prepare all of the documents required so even if you were fast in submitting your application, realistically, you will be submitting it at the end of the 8 or beginning of the 9th month. Therefore I would not want to promise you it can be done.

    On average it takes approximately 6 months to get applications completed in 2023.
