There is a “soft/hard” policy difference. I know because I felt it personally. For years I traveled with a Brazilian passport (great passport by the way, lots of visa free access) to Europe and Asia but constantly I was treated like a second class citizen at immigration and customs, being questioned constantly and some times taken to a special second round of questioning in a closed off room. This happened in China, Sweden, UAE and Thailand. Now that I became a US citizen I seethe difference is enormous. So yes, you can technically travel with a “b” class passport, I was never denied entry to schengen or other visa free countries I had access to with my Brazilian passport, But I was interrogated and given a hard time more often than not. I like having my Brazilian passport and I will keep it, but there is a difference to the treatment I get when presenting a US passport.
Same with albanian passport,you still get treated as a country with a poor passport ,eventhough i can travel freely in euorpe and have many visa free countries but still when they see the albanian passport they treat you more harshly with more questions ect.If u have a different passport (a more powerful one or a passport of a powerful country) you will be treated really differently.I think having a saint kitts passport would be great in these cases.
Hi all I’m from st. Kitts & Nevis People from St. kitts are kittitian People from Nevis are Nevisians Just to help everyone better connect with country its people and its culture
Yes but, I dont want any and anyone thinking we are an easy country and you can just flock there. I personally don't want it to become like Barbados. I want to stay mostly caribbean and not overtake with foreigners and get call little England. Hell no!!!
People from countries other than the US might not see the value yet, but when Canada, Australia, NZ, and the UK start taxing globally I'm sure the price of CBI will go up.
That's PROBABLY true; although it is POSSIBLE that a few other countries would then "step into the fray" and offer CBI (or at least offer a much faster naturalization process in exchange for money; a country like Paraguay, for example, could offer citizenship in exchange for $100,000 and 9 months of residency, and an easy-to-pass language test).
St Kitts is considered a blacklisted tax haven by Portugal, meaning that a Portugal tax resident can’t get tax waived on income sourced from St Kitt, though crypto gains are excluded from taxes in Portugal I heard.
I have my second passport in hand for Barbados by descent . I need to think 🤔 long and hard about what to do with my American passport. She is a very interesting person to listen to.
Are you living in the US? Do you plan on returning to the US? If no to both, you should consider renouncing your citizenship. ESP. If you are ok with never going back. Right now, you are liable for US taxes, subject to FATCA and US surveillance even in Barbados
I'm west indian as well. Born in Brooklyn. As brown and black people, we need to think long and hard about giving up US citizenship. Sometimes because we're not white, that citizenship can be the thing that helps us out. Unless one of those multiple passports is a first world country, I wouldn't give up US citizenship. I'm going to be going for Portugal 🇵🇹 residency first and possibly a tax free Caribbean country close to simultaneously. We have some company stuff happening for us in the Bahamas 🇧🇸. Will need to look into them. For now I'm OK paying the US taxes for the US privilege when I travel. I've been stopped by local police in other countries because I look like I didn't belong. I just had to say I was American and show id, and they apologized for stopping me and kept it moving. I can't even imagine how bad those experiences could have been had I not been American.
@@iTuber012 There is allot of forigeners coming in with outside money and take advantage of the exchange rate buying up property. I immigrated from there to America as a teenager in the 90s.

During 2020, 7400 foreigners have become Turkish citizens and have got their turkish passports and drivers licenses by investing 2 billion usd into turkish real estate market as Golden Investor, 250.000 usd each. Many of them are Yemeni, Iraqi, Iranian, Afghan, Algerian, French, Carribean citizens. We in the family always have been eating outside from restaurants, from street foods, from pizza, burger parlours, we only prepare coffee or tea at home as turkish citizens. You can do the same with high net worth individuals from northern europe or canadian, usa citizens; invest in Turkey and live at its best, use turkish servants all the time.
@@aliasgharkhoyee8911 that’s like saying Americans like to eat out even though there’s millions of Americans who eat out less than once a week. Everyone’s different
I wouldn't bother to educate them. If they cannot get it right, they shouldn't be aloud to live there. Don't want my country overpopulated.. The PM too greedy and all he thinks about is himself. Robbing the citizens.
Heidi is a dummy- If you have a net worth of 2m + then you have a to pay the exit tax- I am sure she did not disclose her crypto - because she does not own any - Her job is to sell you on her services
I'm surprised it took a YEAR. The St. Kitts and Nevis CBI program advertises a 3 to 4 month process. I'm starting to doubt whether I can really push through with this or not. 😞
And the process does indeed take 3-4 months unless there is an issue or request for additional documents. This then causes a pause to the processing while the client provides to the unit what is requested and the processing then resumes once the documents are received. Therefore the only way the process would take a year is if there was a delay on the applicant’s end. Citizens of St Kitts and Nevis are called Kittitians and Nevisians. 🙂
@@candisiefranklin3674 Ohhhhhhh. I see. Hmmm... I wonder what the govt would still want if one had already submitted everything required? 😥 Tbh, I'm really worried about the financial aspect of the due diligence.

Daniel Vidal Citizenship for any country is not a matter to be taken lightly. You are getting some of the same rights and privileges that born citizens get as a birth right except you are acquiring it by investing. I think showing business transactions and source of funds are very little to ask for in the grand scheme of things. Don’t you agree? 🤔
@@candisiefranklin3674 Hmmm... Fair enough. I've been thinking of ways to make it comfortable for my tenants to have our contracts submitted. I'm just worried that they might not be okay with it, yanno, with their name in it and all.
Wow this is great! Shocked about the elementary school and all that stuff. I moved around a lot. Seems St. Kitts is much longer to get than St. Lucia as well. Is this common for citizenship by investment to ask for school as a kid? I thought it was just criminal background checks and financial checks.
Hello Andrew Many agents are offering funded CBI where they fund your share investment in saint kitts till selling after five years in return of very low amount. in essence, you are getting CBI for very less. for example, a family of four will get CBI for 120k USD what do you think? ess
I know its not the normal content, but this is the 3rd vid for St kitts that popped up, but doesn't even give a briefest description of what life is like on st kitts.

Shame that as a Kittitian you know nothing about the CBI program. An applicant can apply and obtain their passport either through ‘donation’ or through real estate investment. There is NO requirement where an individual has to provide employment for 10 persons permanently.
@@yellowzoo5079 I will call that a sell out because why you want a Citizenship for a Poor man country if you not going their with a load of cash to produce work for the poorer people.

But without renunciation, you're still up against that FATCA block even with the SK passport. Tough call.
