Saint Lucia Citizenship

The St Lucia citizenship by investment program was launched in 2015. The Citizenship By Investment Act and its amendments regulate the program rules.

The minimum investment is $100,000. Applicants choose from four options. There is a contribution to the state fund, purchase of government bonds or real estate and business investments.

The investor can return the money in 5-7 years by redeeming bonds or selling real estate.

Investors get citizenship under a simplified procedure. They don’t have to obtain a residence permit, live in the country or take a language proficiency test.

An investor’s spouse, children, parents and siblings can get citizenship under the investment program.
