Saint Lucia

St Lucia Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Program allows foreigners to obtain the country’s nationality by contributing to the economy.

The minimum investment is $240,000. Applicants choose from five options: a contribution to a state fund, purchase of government bonds or real estate, and business investments, including infrastructure projects.

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

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.

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

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