Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Visa Program

Citizenship by Investment

The St. Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program is one of the most family friendly programs in the Caribbean launched in 2016. It offers a quiet and relaxed lifestyle, with most houses having a fantastic beach side view.

The cost of living here is still much more affordable than that of many cities in the United States. The country has a low crime rate, prime real estate investment options and world-class infrastructure.

Saint Lucia’s Citizenship by Investment Program was launched in December 2015 following the passage of Act No. 14 of 2015, the Citizenship by Investment Act on 24th August 2015. Under the program, foreign nationals that contribute economically to the country may become Saint Lucian citizens. Economic contribution may be in the form of a donation to the National Development Fund or an investment in an approved real estate project or an investment in government bonds or an investment in an enterprise project.

An amendment of Regulation, coming into force last January 1st (2017), has reduced qualifying investment amounts on the National Development Fund option, has removed the sworn affidavit requirement declaring financial resources of at least US$ 3m, has added an administrative fee for the Government bonds investment option, and provides the option to sign the Oath of allegiance before an attorney-at-law, a Consular Officer of Saint Lucia, an Honorary Consul of Saint Lucia, a Notary Royal or a Notary Public.
