Its capital is Buster. Its government is English and its official language is English. Until 1986, it was called St. Christopher and Nevis. Wikipedia
Legal Basis
Saint Kitts and Nevis was the first Caribbean country to launch the Citizenship by Investment program, established in 1984 in order to support the economic growth and expand the private and public sectors of the economy. In return, it allows foreign investors obtain permanent legal citizenship and second passport within 4 to 6 months. St. Kitts & Nevis has a strong track record of issuing second citizenship to investors on an international level.
Notice: The citizenship program of Saint Kitts and Nevis restricts nationals from Afghanistan and Iran (Persia) from applying to the program.
