"Of all the promotional emails I've received, the one that I got in February from St. Kitts and Nevis is probably the strangest. For a limited time only, it said, this small island nation in the Caribbean could offer me citizenship at a $25,000 discount.
Why I wound up getting an email like this is a minor mystery. I cover wealth, and I find the logistics of being rich extremely amusing. But being able to drop $125,000 on a second passport � which was the sale price � and laughing about it are not the same.
More likely than not, the sender was trying to tap the hottest new market for secondary citizenship: the United States. Henley & Partners, the world's premier passport brokering company, said that in 2022, more Americans inquired about citizenship by investment � programs that allow people to pay for citizenship instead of gaining it by demonstrating their ties to a country � than in any previous year. Americans were also the leading nationality for submitting applications."
