The Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment programme was launched by the government on 1st January 2016. Applicants can apply for St Lucia’s citizenship programme via three main investment routes, donation, real estate investment and a government bond investment. Successful applicants will be granted St Lucia citizenship and a passport which will enable them to gain visa-free travel to more than 158 countries worldwide.
In addition to making the necessary investment or donation there are several requirements that applicants must meet for Saint Lucia
Family members can be included in the application for St Lucia citizenship. The main investor can include:
All applicants will need to be of good character and undergo the St Lucia government’s due diligence formalities: Investors must provide
One of the many attractions of gaining second citizenship in Saint Lucia is that the Citizenship by Investment programme does not have any minimum stay requirements. Citizens of St Lucia have the right to live, work or study in St Lucia, if they wish to, but this is not a pre-requisite of the programme. There is also no interview or language test required.
The lowest cost route to gain Saint Lucia Citizenship is via a donation to the National Economic Fund. The minimum investment required is $240,000 for a family of up to four. Additional due diligence and processing fees are also applicable and will vary depending on the applicant’s age and the size of their family.
For the real estate route, applicants must invest in a government-approved real estate development for a minimum of $300,000, plus fees. The investment must be held for a minimum holding period of five years, after which it may be liquidated.
Citizenship by Investment Applicants can also choose to deposit $300,000 into a refundable Government Bond, known as the National Action Bond. The bond has a minimum holding period of five years, after which the capital can be returned to the investor at 0% interest. The investment is $300,000 regardless of how many family members are included in the application. There is also an additional non-refundable administration fee of $50,000 required, plus other application and due diligence fees.
Citizenship by Investment Applicants can also choose to invest $250,000 into a local enterprise project. The investment is $250,000 for families up to four person, plus an administration fee and all other application and due diligence fees apply.
Applications for the St Lucia Citizenship Investment programme take an average of 5-6 months to be processed from the date the applicant’s file is submitted to St Lucia’s Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU). Typically, it takes most applicants between 2-6 weeks prior to this to gather all their documentation. Casa Aurum’s in-house processing team will assist applicants with this entire process and the application can be filed remotely, no need to travel. See the FAQ’s for a more detailed breakdown of the timeframe.
Important Note: Only certain international agents are authorised by the CIP to promote the St Lucia citizenship by investment programme. Casa Aurum (Licence No. PM43LV300118) is approved by the St. Lucia government to promote the programme.
Once investors have successfully been granted Saint Lucian Citizenship, they will be issued with a Saint Lucia passport. St Lucian passport holders benefit from visa-free access to 158 countries and territories worldwide according to Casa Aurum’s Unique Passport Investment Report. This represents over a third of the world’s GDP and includes access to the EU Schengen zone, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and more.
