St. Lucia Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Program

Saint Lucia is an Eastern Caribbean island nation with a pair of dramatically tapered mountains, the Pitons, on its west coast. Its coast is home to volcanic beaches, reef-diving sites, luxury resorts, and fishing villages.

Tourism is an important part of the economy of the country, as well as banana production, and a diversified light manufacturing sector. An educated workforce and reliable infrastructure and port facilities attract foreign investment in tourism, petroleum storage, and transshipment.

St. Lucia launched its Citizen by Investment Program on January 1, 2016, giving qualifying High Net Worth Individuals and their families the ability to apply for citizenship and a second passport quickly and efficiently.
