On 22nd September, 2025, the St. Kitts Marriott played host to the Quarterly Chairman’s Briefing, where industry insiders, agents, and stakeholders gathered for an exclusive update from Executive Chairman Calvin St. Juste.
This event confirmed what discerning global families and investors already know: St. Kitts & Nevis remains the premier reference point for citizenship by investment (CBI), and JH Marlin continues to be the trusted partner to navigate this journey.
Why St Kitts and Nevis Remains a Leader in Citizenship by Investment
Unwavering Leadership Recognised Worldwide
St. Kitts & Nevis has once again claimed the #1 position in the prestigious CBI Index for the fifth consecutive year, standing out across nine pillars — from due diligence and application efficiency to long-term programme certainty and investment options.
As Chairman St. Juste emphasized, “St. Kitts and Nevis remains the first and the finest,” lauded globally not only for unmatched efficiency and due diligence but also for program stability — precisely the attributes that clients value most when selecting JH Marlin for their investment migration needs.
Transparency, Accountability, and Investor Confidence
This year’s briefing left no doubt: the CIU has embraced transparency and accountability as core values. The Unit’s transition to a statutory corporate body has improved governance and delivered a 169% surge in applications during the first hundred days—a testament to rising global confidence. New and highly qualified staff, trained by international experts, have brought world-class service and enhanced client security.
JH Marlin, present in Nevis and with a global client base, has been instrumental in shaping these high standards—from rigorous due diligence to supporting clients navigating the increasingly digitised and paperless CBI application processes.

Reform, Regulation, and Digital Innovation
At the heart of the CIU’s transformation are six guiding principles: reform, regulation, innovation, transparency, customer service, and genuine national benefit. Notably, digitisation efforts—including the “Saturn” platform’s interactive agent chat—have modernised the client journey, while biometric entry technology has streamlined border security for new citizens.
With a forthcoming region-wide regulatory authority, St Kitts & Nevis will soon help establish a unified code of conduct for all Caribbean CBI agents and enforce robust ethical and marketing standards. As a government-authorised, on-island agent with a decades-long track record, JH Marlin is uniquely positioned to guide clients through these evolving requirements.
Meaningful Links and Family Inclusion
In his remarks, Chairman St. Juste outlined anticipated requirements that ensure a “genuine and effective link” between new citizens and the country, including a practical yet meaningful residency commitment (thirty days over five years). Innovative eligibility enhancements—such as dependents up to age 30 without the need for full-time education, and a potential for sibling inclusion—reflect the CIU’s client-focused approach.
New Investment Options and Elite Concierge Service
A highlight of the briefing was the unveiling of the new Public Benefit Offering: a limited-time route allowing families of four to invest USD $250,000 with no extra fees for dependents (applications must be submitted before 31 December 2025). This, combined with invitation-only concierge tiers, crypto-friendly payment facilitation, and elite banking and trust support, positions the St. Kitts & Nevis CBI Programme as the choice for modern, flexibility-minded investors.
