Brief overview of the program

The St. Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program, launched in 2015, is one of the most attractive options in the Caribbean region. Investors can obtain a second passport in just three months by contributing USD 240,000 to a state fund or purchasing real estate worth USD 300,000 or more. Investments in government bonds or real estate may be returned five years after citizenship is granted. Program participants are not required to reside in the country, take language or history exams, or demonstrate knowledge of the official language. To qualify, it is enough to pass a background check, fulfill the investment requirements, and take the oath of allegiance in the presence of an authorized official.

Processing time from 3 months
Investment amount from USD 240,000
