“Only persons who could have gotten citizenship through their grandparents were persons born before Independence [on September 19, 1983], and they got it at Independence,” he stated. “However, a child under 18 years can get citizenship through their parents if [a] parent is a citizen. Therefore, a grandparent born in Saint Kitts and Nevis before Independence, can pass citizenship to his or her child born outside [of the Federation] after Independence. And that child, who is now the parent of the grandchild, can then apply for the child born outside of St. Kitts and Nevis to be a citizen. However, that parent cannot apply for an adult (someone over 18  years) to be a citizen, and that is the point.”
