How long must I hold the St. Kitts and Nevis real estate before I can resell it?

Under the St. Kitts and Nevis programme, real estate acquired for citizenship carries a mandatory holding period. A qualifying share in an approved development (minimum US$325,000) can only be resold after seven years from the date of purchase.

This is longer than several other Caribbean programmes, which often allow resale after five years. After the seven years pass, you may sell the property, and in approved developments it can be sold on to another citizenship applicant, provided it still meets programme rules at that time.
