What due-diligence standards, such as prior criminal convictions, are there for investment immigrants to St. Kitts and Nevis?

I am from Ecuador and have a criminal conviction there from 15 years ago. But I have served my time and have since become a successful businessman. Can I apply for citizenship through an investment? What kind of background checks are there?

St. Kitts and Nevis does full background checks, including criminal convictions. While a "criminal conviction" on the face of it does not automatically disqualify a person from being eligible to successfully apply for citizenship, the authorities will look at the nature of the crime convicted and make a determination considering all of the facts of the application. Notwithstanding, however, convictions for serious crimes will likely be considered fatal to the application.
