In this video we talk about my experience traveling to Europe with my St Kitts and Nevis passport that I got through citizenship by investment last year. Overall it was a smooth experience apart from many questions asked at the border and confusion from immigration officials because they've never seen this passport before.
Many people asked me what it's like to travel and have a citizenship by investment passport so I decided to go test it out myself to see the whole process and the reality of traveling with an unknown passport like St Kitts and Nevis. In this video I tell the full story traveling from Dubai to Istanbul Turkey and then to Cluj Napoca Romania.

I got mine on Dec 21 and just entered Germany 2 days ago,
They just stamped it without asking me any thing
Hi just a heads up for future purposes please refrain from just saying St.kitts alone for short you can say SKN
@8:08 to ask question would say i was Naturalization you not lie and less heat
Thanks for being so transparent about the process, some people would just say "everything went fine" but it's very helpful to know the details so that one is actually prepared. Amazing video as usual!
Thanks, Rafael for sharing this story. I have a different CBI passport and immigration said the same thing when I entered Netherlands. I asked "Would you not let me in if I didnt have my other passport?" He said "no, we just want to see your real passport because a lot of these CBI passports are counterfeit". Then I went through a little more scrutiny in the baggage screening area. The jury is still out.
One of the few bonuses of owning a Russian passport these days is that no one asks whether this country exists. In fact, the only question I was asked at border control when visiting 5 countries in 2022 was "are you visiting our country for the first time?".
Great experience
I traveled with st kitts passport to Turkish and they did not ask me any questions at all
And that was my first flight ✈️ with skn passport
Ah okay nice !! Thank you for sharing
How do I get a saint ky password a sierra leone passport holder?
I’m a dual Canadian and American citizen. When I went to Canada last August the border agent was about to welcome me home when she noticed that I live in the USA. She then asked to see a green card or American passport!!!!! I had to show it. I thought that was super weird. I notice tho that more and more countries are asking these kinds of questions.
Crazy
Of course, american citizen ans st kitts citizen are not the same ! yes with ST kits beautiful passport you can travel to many countries without visa but, be sure in borders you will not have the same respect, and they will not behave with you as they behave with an American ! the value of a nationality is not based on the strength of the passport but on the Importance of your country in the world ! it is a sad reality.
I was born in Argentina and I have an Argentinian passport which is a strong passport but I also have an Italian passport, I can guarantee it to you, officers really respect me when I travel as Italian, I travel with great confidence and security, this is not the case with my powerful Argentinian passport....
Hello nice to meet you, I’m glad you understand. I didn’t think Europeans and Asians and South/North Americans such as yourself would understand.
Now imagine using or holding an African passport. Most African passports are so useless they are a liability.
Example I need to prove I have money (show bank statement and job) and also show medical reports and health history and even after showing all that you still get denied visa
What an experience this was for you. "Is this a real country" must have been uniquely sobering!
Thank you so much for sharing this video I've to admit everytime you hold this passport my heart beats I feel I already have it coming from north Africa I've travelled to the UK but the hassle of visa process your passport being held for 30 days and then After three consecutive successful visa to the UK I got refused yet I've always respected my Visa so it's my dream passport and something in my heart is telling me that one day soon I'll be holding one :)
Love these travel videos! Love all the videos actually
First off, you need to transfer your UAE Visa to your St Kitts passport... and update your Emirates ID accordingly. Also, stop saying you "bought" the St Kitts passport. If and when asked about it, just say you've permanently migrated overseas and in the process of renouncing your US citizenship.
Nice one I like it, thank you
Yes, its no one's business what other passports you have or why you have them.
@@WealthyExpat If they ask you how you obtained St. Kitts citizenship, simply say you received it because you made an investment in the country. Did you do the donation option or buy real estate? If you bought real estate, you could say that you're a property owner there.
loosen up a bit man. Jeez, why so toxic?
@@WealthyExpat Yea, saying you bought the passport sounds horrible, you need to think from the average person’s perspective. It’s also wrong, since you invested and thereby got the passport. You did not buy the passport directly.
Hi Rafael, always enjoy your videos. The reason they ask you if you hold another passport is because its already showing in the system. Usually when they scan your passport at the check in ticket counter it will be linked to immigration and other airline counters. Therefore they ask the question cause it shows same person and same details but different citizenship. Its just for security.
Thanks so much for sharing, Rafael. Please let us know how things go when you visit another country on your St Kitts passport. Hoping it's just Romania that likes those lengthy interrogations =)
Will be visiting more countries soon and will keep you updated !!
Great content! 👍
great video as always
Hey, Rafael! This is the first time I've heard this side of the story. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing content for completely free!
PS: So happy you landed safely in our beautiful country. If you happen to end up in Bucharest as well, let me know if you're up for a coffee or a meal.
Will visit Bucharest soon in summer for sure, thank you!
Nice one ... Good to hear this good news.
Wouldn't the most honest and legitimate answer, to the question of how you got the St Kitts Passport, be that you're a naturalised citizen.
Via an Investment. You can do this on their government website
Well done super very knowledgeable thank you very much brother 🙏
We have beautiful beaches here at st.kitts 🇰🇳🇰🇳
Do you live in St. Kitts? That's amazing.
St Kitts is well-known for sports. Strange there are people in customs of other countries that don’t know about this great nation.
St Kitts is only really known in the carribean.. Ive heard stories of how Brazilian passport control didnt believe that the country existed.
Super Video! I had the exact same questions - great job and detail. Would love to hear if you get asked the last question and believe that "I invested in the country" is a legitimate and honest answer. :) Thanks!
The answer I was looking for long time. I got today. I.e experience of traveling on new passport.
You got more questions than me wirh my algerian passport 🤣🤣.
Let me know about ur experience in Russia when u travel there with ur st kitt passport one day. Kinda curious if the Russian border guard could recognize where this country is. So plz keep us updated about this ! Super thanks to the visa waiver agreement!
What a beautiful life you got there👍🤲😍
Very interesting video
I think they wouldn't have let you in if your second passport (let's say your second passport was from Uzbekistan) needed visa to Romania, interesting why they wanted to see your second passport and made this comment: you are visa free on both passports.
They would have let him in, they would have probably wasted about 30 minutes of his time and from my research, it's only Romania that does this, other countries don't. I hold a St Kitts and Nigerian passport, when I travel to visa free areas, I spend only a few minutes at immigration control.
NOTE Without substantial evidence, i.e. proof of funds, return ticket (if asked) etc. It is illegal to refuse entry to a passport holder that has visa free access to that particular country, unless he's wanted by Interpol.
You didn't buy it.
You applied, invested in the country and were granted citizenship.
Easy to remember because it's the truth. Verifiable if they want to check.
Sounds quite logical and acceptable.
Thank me later. 😜
what i looking forward mostly now is your promised video about Ukraine women :)
Great stuff man. Romania is an amazing place, enjoy it.
Any chance you'll make a video about the income tax system in Switzerland?
Will be visiting Switzerland and Liechtenstein in summer and making videos from there hopefully if WW3 doesn't break out
@@WealthyExpat Don't worry, Switzerland will stay neutral. And you have a decent position to stay out of this mess. I honestly doubt St. Kitts & Nevis or the UAE will get involved in this lol
@@MILE011 Wrong, Switzerland is sanctioning Russia/Russians.
@@EnderViBrittania Still militarily neutral though. But this was a move in the wrong direction...
A friend of mine is Israeli but him grandfather was a Jewish from Romania so he had the right to request the Romanian citizenship and of course a passport too. Apparently traveling inside the EU it's much easier with a Ro passport instead of using his Israeli one, so chose to do that, too bad for him he tried to cross the Romanian boarder from Serbia and couldn't speak a single word of Romanian, had to wait like 2h for the boarder guards to finally allow him to enter Romania. It all worked out but those guards were mad confused about the situation.
Looking good champ
Thank you broooo
How interesting of a person you would be. If it was your job to know all the continents and countries in the world. Then you're confused when you don't know when you've seen something that you should know. I would consider taking my life Or finding another job.
Is that passport making its holder to visit and enter england without any troubles at airport ?
Give a part 2 of this passport evolving after 2 years of usage
Hi..how to apply fr Dominica passport..can u guide if any agent does it. Thanks
Who would you recommend to process paper work for St. Kitts
Recommend me trusted agency for Carribbean citizenship?
COVID bans like you described don't make sense. Those restrictions should have only affected you if are living there. But if you are travelling from another country, unaffected by any restrictions as a resident of that country, it should not be affecting you. If let's say there is a sudden huge surge of COVID or other dangerous deceases in the US or Saint Kitts and Nevis, it does not mean that you are also posing danger to the country you're visiting because you don't live in the US or in Saint Kitts.
Well, I wouldn't ditch your U.S. passport just yet. If the EU decides to make everyone with a "golden passport" (or even everyone with a St. Kitts document) get a visa to travel inside the Schengen zone...you've thrown your money away. How much did you pay an "agent" to acquire the passport?
question how did u get a st kitts nevis passport without even traveling one time to the island
I traveled on my St Lucia passport to Turkey..in and out...very smooth process. However, I was unable to open a bank account in Turkey via that passport.
Interesting did they give you a specific reason?
@@WealthyExpat I went to each and every bank in Istanbul in a period of 3 days but no luck..some banks said, Caribbean passports are blacklisted. some refused to talk to me. Some said yes and asked me high opening fees to which I immediately agreed to but they said, wait for few days but they never called back!
@@Captain_Tiger Out of curiosity why open a bank in Turkey? Caribbean banks are quite strong and they have more mobility regarding international business.
Am I waiting for my passport as well. My mate don't show me any further
How should we go on processing such passport
i think next you need to change your residence in Dubai from American passport to St Kitts and Nevis passport
How did you get this passport? Best answr is by investment.
How I can't get kits and Nevis andpassport
Actually, many officals in many airports around the world have no idea about countries like saint kitts and dominca . Isnt there any date base at every airport show to officials that sanit kitts spassport has visa free to there countries instead of wasting time explaining to them that ??
People don't even know what or where St Kitts is, so they surely won't know whether you look like a typical St Kitts native!
Even most people watching this channel likely won't know the answer to the latter question.
I'm interested citizenship
How much money
The issue might have been that you got out of UAE on a US passport and then showed a different passport there. Just a thought.
In my experience, the passport you give to the departing country/airline and the boarder guard aren’t that connected. They take you fresh. Residency not matching passport etc is the problem if they check.
The issue was that he was using a fresh passport with no stamps from a relatively unknown country. Your passport at departure doesn't have to be the same as entry.
How long I can live in St Kitts to get passport
If you renounce your US citizenship does the residence visa you have with UAE on your US passport get transferred to your St. Kitts passport? I'm in a similar situation having a US passport with a Japanese residence permit. I plan to get a St. Kitts passport but if I renounce my US citizenship will Japan accept and transfer to my St. Kitts passport the residency permit?
He didn't renounce himself
When I arrived in the Philippines seven months ago at Manila airport, the lady looked three with five times my Greek passport expressed that she ain't aware of this country and asked where is it located xD
Lol funny Filipinos
Is it possible to change to st Kitts as citizenship in UAE residency card?
Yes it's possible I just haven't done it yet, will do it soon
@@WealthyExpat I’ve dime it four month ago I’ve changed all my documents here to st.Kitts passport took around 5 working days to change nationality on my residency. Overall easy process! Great videos man !
It is much more adventurous if you travel to the US on a Romanian passport. You will find all the questions that they will ask you really funny
If you get asked how you got that passport, just say by "descent from my parents"
Being a Romanian and seeing this haha
can you use your St. kitts passport and not US when you re enter Dubai ?
No I need to enter on US because my Emirates ID is tied to my US passport for now
In my case
I will have a passport in a country I live in
I have no interest in visiting the USA again...
I've been to all 50 states.
I have no bank account or real estate etc that someone I.e. irs can embargo or take
So I will not waste my time or money giving up my usa passport. For what? Just let it expire and live my life as a citizen of my adopted homeland
If I don't file taxes in usa what can they do or take. Nada
Daaayum the jawline tho
Thanks for your advise, I'm really interested in procuring St. Kitts and Nevis passport via the easiest route as a Nigerian. Kindly acquaint me with your contact Sir.
Do you think that the gate agents in Istanbul and/or the immigration officials in Romania have the authority to ask you about your other passports? Do you think they knew you had a US passport and were just testing you by asking about your other passports? If you hadn't told them, what could they do? I know people who travel to country A on passport 1, stay the 90 days, leave, and then reenter on passport 2. no issues. but they also told me that immigration agents never asked them about their other passports. since you were asked, and answered, do you think you would be able to do this?
Are you serious 😲😲. I thought it's illegal if u have dual citizenship to stay in a country with first passport ,stay for 90 days ,leave and re-enter with second passport. I want to know more information from what you said please
@@runyieteng9927 Actually, it is illegal and highly UNrecommended to do so. At least (if found in the system) you will risk to be banned from entry to this country for some time while in case of Schengen countries things can be even much worse as they have the same immigration database.
@@NON-2022 alright thanks so much,am grateful. I would rather obey immigration rules than risk being banned 😂😂
They can ask whatever they want.
@@NON-2022 It is not illegal, as long as he doesn't stay more than 90 days and can show proof of funds to sustain his time there. he can leave and re-enter on day 89 and come back day 91. there are no rules to this
Interesting!!! They didn't even know the country!
you said you will tell us why your girlfriend left was it because of the passport
Assalamualaikum my brother, I'm from Sierra Leone, West Africa, I'm really interested in traveling the world like you, my name is Desmond Bangura
I have 3 pasaporte
Shouldn't world geography be something immigration officials should be required to know? I was with a Papua New Guinean entering Malaysia and the border guard at the airport asked the PNG citizen "is your country a Commonwealth country?" Shouldn't they know this kind of stuff?
They should yes but most don't get that training and just find out from experience
EU is considering removing visa free status of all citizenship programme countries even taxing others EU programmes at 50% soon to discourage them from selling golden visas… can u make a video on that ?
Will make a video on it soon when I get more clarity because it's just a proposal right now and we're not 100% sure what will happen
Can we travel to india using st Kitts passport
Yes you can get a 60-day Evisa
Yes with an e visa.
I’m just guessing, but from looking at you YT account and the videos link it seems you’re possibly of Indian decent. If that’s the case you can also get an OCI to India, which is easy to get and is essentially a permanent residency to India. With that you can live, work, and do business in India on the same level as a citizen, as long as you want.

Better off getting a passport from a country that doesn't tax you on worldwide income like Canada or UK. And live abroad.
I will begin traveling when Covid restrictions are dead.
Those are not real places?
Tnx from afghanistan
You also look middle eastern. So you're being partially racially profiled.
you have the us passport why u bought the st. kits. the us passport is enough
Hello, if I get the Saint Kitts passport, can we go to the United Kingdom, the USA and Canada without a visa and live for 6 months? Or can we live there permanently?
Just say you are naturalized
Have you considered the truth. You could just say I am a citizen of St Kitts. or St Kitts offers CBI that I have taken advantage of.
You don’t look like someone from St Kitts hence the shock, plus they lack knowledge of the Caribbean.
Why dont you just say no İ dont have , bruh
Pato
So, st Kitts passport was a waste of time
Invest in Pakistan
He needed it to renounce his us citizenship
Laughable
I was American until exactly June 28, 2012, because of taxes.... after obtaining the citizenship of Dominica, I resided in Oman at that time, I can confirm it to you, it was the most stupid decision of my whole life ! I was no longer respected as before at the borders, the officers doubted me because I now come from a third world country... I spent a lot of time explaining the reasons for my stay, my background, showing my return tickets .... unfortunately I lost the right to live in the USA, to become a citizen of a country that does not offer a good quality of life to its citizens, this is the case of Dominica for example, or Saint Lucia, or Saint Kitts, Antigua and Barbuda.... these countries have a weak economy, a lot of unemployment, no security, bad educational system.... luckily I now live in Finland because my wife is Finnish I will get my Finnish passport in a few months... I'm looking forward to that day
I know someone using a St Kitts passport, and he has had zero issues. So I don’t know, maybe the problem is you do not present yourself professionally and properly to the passport control immigration officer.
Those negatives you stated do not apply to St. Kitts Nevis. Do your resesrch before you insult.
Excuse you....the literacy rate of St. Kitts & Nevis is 98% (you can check). We have produced excellence with varied achievements including Dr. Andrea Douglas, an American board certified neurosurgeon and Chief of Neurosurgery at Stamford Health. We do not have poverty blocks/camp areas --- America does. We are not weighted down by tax season and our country is clean.

@@sknproud083 Okay maybe , saint kitts is better than other carribean countries but to be honest, , Saint Kitts and Australia or New Zealand for exemple, or with EU countries.... ! Do you think they are the same ? unfortunately this is the reality of our current world
