Thinking about St Kitts & Nevis CBI in 2026, opinions?
Hi all. I'm based in the UAE on a golden visa and seriously considering the St Kitts & Nevis CBI programme this year. Would love honest opinions from anyone who's been through it or weighed it up recently.
Where I'm coming from:
The EU situation. From where I sit, the EU doesn't seem to have a coherent policy on CBI countries. It just keeps adding new conditions, and every new round of demands gives the Caribbean programmes another excuse to raise prices. I'd rather act now than wait for the goalposts to move again.
EU access isn't really the point for me anyway. What I actually want is visa free travel to the UK, Hong Kong and Singapore. That's where the real convenience is for my situation.
Time on the island: not an issue. I'm happy to spend a few days a year in St Kitts. A family holiday in the Caribbean every year is a bonus, not a burden.
US visa: for those of you holding a St Kitts passport, how did the US visa (B1/B2) process go? Did you apply on the St Kitts passport or your original one, how long did it take, and did you get the 10 year?
Beyond that: is St Kitts still the right pick in 2026 vs the other Caribbean programmes? Anything to watch out for with agents, pricing or due diligence timelines?
Thanks in advance.
