Nevis is a Safe Haven with Minimal Risks and a Big Future
The island of Nevis is part of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, located in the so-called classic offshore zone of the Caribbean. The island’s legislation is based on the English Common Law, which has allowed the island’s jurisdiction to retain its unconditional leadership in the possibility of acquiring economic citizenship and the protection of assets since 1995.
Nevis is undoubtedly a representative of the classical offshore, which raises certain concerns for entrepreneurs in the era of an international trend for deoffshorization adopted in many countries. The offshore companies understand this, too. In particular, Nevis demonstrates excellent adaptability and flexibility of its legislation: it seeks to play by international rules and avert problems for foreign residents, while still upholding the principles of protecting the assets and personal information of customers.
Thus, since January 2019, amendments have entered into force in Nevis to prevent this jurisdiction from being blacklisted by the EU. Importantly, the country’s authorities intend to continue to adopt the necessary amendments at a high speed, supporting beneficial advantages for foreign investors. The benefit of Nevis’ legislative and fiscal independence contributes to this.
