ST. LUCIA

Program Overview

Saint Lucia confidently boasts a Citizenship by Investment program that is unmatched in its efficiency for investors while providing unparalleled benefits for the country and its people. The program results from decades of experience handpicked from the best practices of its Caribbean neighbours.

One of the many advantages of Saint Lucia’s program is the acceptance of dual citizenship, which can bring investors the confidence to expand their businesses while enjoying tax relief.
