The Government of St. Kitts & Nevis has confirmed that the Public Benefit Option (PBO) Limited Time Offer (LTO) under its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Program will officially expire on February 28.
According to information received from local partners, applications submitted after this date will no longer benefit from the temporary pricing and conditions currently in place. Instead, pricing will revert to the standard PBO structure.
For investors and families considering Caribbean citizenship by investment, this deadline represents a key opportunity to secure more favorable terms.
What happens after February 28?
Once the PBO Limited Time Offer expires:
- Investment thresholds will return to previous (higher) levels
- Applications will follow the standard Public Benefit Option requirements
- Late submissions will not qualify for the LTO conditions
Applicants who miss the deadline may need to reassess overall investment costs or consider alternative citizenship-by-investment programs.
What applicants should do now
To qualify under the current PBO Limited Time Offer, timing is critical. Applicants should:
- Prepare and finalize all required documentation urgently
- Submit e-filings before February 28
- Work closely with licensed advisors to ensure compliance and accuracy
Given standard due diligence and onboarding timelines, delaying action increases the risk of missing the cutoff.
Why timing matters for St. Kitts & Nevis citizenship by investment
St. Kitts & Nevis operates one of the longest-standing and most reputable CBI programs worldwide. However, limited-time offers are designed to be temporary tools and should not be assumed to continue.
Once pricing reverts, investors may face:
- Higher capital commitments
- Reduced flexibility in structuring applications
- Longer decision-making timelines
Acting within the current window can result in meaningful financial and strategic advantages.
