Ownership
Buying on Nevis
The steps, in order.
The purchase, step by step
1. Inquiry. A conversation with the sales office to shortlist residences.
2. Viewing. See the shortlisted homes, in person where you can.
3. Reservation. Reserve the chosen residence with the developer.
4. Purchase agreement. Signed with your own attorney’s advice.
5. Licences and approvals. A non-national needs an Alien Landholding Licence, handled with your attorney.
6. Closing. Title transfers and the keys are handed over.
Alien Landholding Licence
The Nevis Island Administration states that a non-national wishing to purchase property in Nevis must apply for an Alien Land Holders Licence. It is typically made a condition of the purchase agreement.
Whether it applies to your purchase, what it costs and how long it takes are for your attorney to confirm. Purchases within developments approved for Citizenship by Investment may be treated differently; ask your attorney and agent.
Costs and taxes
Buyers should take advice from a qualified attorney and adviser on stamp duty, licences, registration fees and tax. These vary by buyer and structure, and this site does not give figures.
Getting to Nevis
The resort lists the Nevis airport as 10 minutes away. From the St. Kitts airport it is 30 minutes: a 15-minute car ride then a 15-minute boat ride.
Choosing a path
Whole ownership, a one-tenth share and the rental program each carry different terms. Read the pages for each, then send an inquiry to the sales office.
If Citizenship by Investment interests you, the Citizenship Unit sets the process. Applications go through a government-authorised agent, and approval-in-principle precedes the investment.
