Journey to the smallest state in the Western Hemisphere

• Journey to the smallest state in the Western Hemisphere

The State of St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis consists of two islands: St. Kitts and Nevis. The first looks like a chicken leg, the second - on a chicken egg.

Saint Kitts and Nevis known that for 20 years selling their citizenship. Moreover, the distribution of passports with beautiful fish delivered here to the stream. In contrast to neighboring Antigua and Barbuda, which requires that the latter-day citizens stayed in their new homes at least a week in the year, for citizenship of St. Kitts and Nevis does not even have to come into the country. To pay the money - and in 6 months you by mail send your passport. All that you are a citizen! Especially for those who receive a passport of this lovely island nation in the mail, on the first page of the document there is a map of the world on which the arrow shows where to look for your home.

As in Antigua (the second word can not speak in the name of the country), Saint Kitts passport (the second word in the name of the country can not talk) entitles you to ride without visas to Europe, Canada, England and other countries.

Citizenship is given in exchange for investments in the "Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation." It would be more correct to say: "We sell you a beautiful certificate with fish for 300 000 dollars." But in St. Kitts live romance, so they say, "You are investing in the diversification of the sugar industry $ 300 000 fund, we have the money to raise the country from its knees, and in gratitude to give you a passport with a wonderful fish!" Essentially it does not change, 300 000 no return. The second option - to buy real estate, entrance starts here by 400,000, but I have no money for such property. Therefore it is possible to buy a stake in some villa or save a few million on a normal house by the sea. Judging by the number of buildings on the island, who want to buy a lot of citizenship. According to statistics of Henley Estates, most of them Russian and Chinese.

Unfortunately, no one is saying how much it costs to abandon the citizenship. who knows what. And then suddenly the entrance - the ruble, and the output - two.

In the meantime, do you think, whether you need a passport to fish, take a look, it looks like the birthplace for 300 000 dollars.
