St. Lucia Citizenship
by Investment

St. Lucia, an English-speaking mango-shaped volcanic island country located between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, is one of the most naturally beautiful countries that attracts tourists with its perfect location for yachting, vibrant stable economy, ancient archeologic sites, diverse history, various sandy beaches, warm climate, and lush emerald rainforests. The Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Program was commenced in 2015 by the Government of St. Lucia and became the newest and one of the most cost-effective CBI programs for families. Applicants and their dependent family members are granted irrevocable citizenship and a powerful passport who will enjoy benefits of visa-free travel and holding a dual citizenship in exchange of making a significant economic contribution to St. Lucia.

Timeline

The first step is to get the pre-approval on applicant’s due diligence administered by MICS professional legal team after having MICS initial professional fee payment before paying the legal fees. Then, MICS will assist you to choose the best investment route based on your needs.

 

The MICS processing team will provide the applicant with a precise list of civil and financial documents required by the government. Once all documents are collected and the file is prepared, the government processing fees, due diligence fees and reservation fees (in the real estate option) plus MICS second professional fee will be due.

 

Upon complete application, the online submission will be done and the hard copy of the files must be couriered to MICS for submission to the CIU. At this stage the CIU will conduct its own internal Due Diligence process.

The completed application will be evaluated for conformity with the St. Lucia CBI program and the result will be reported within 90 days.

If the result is positive, the applicant will be invited to make the investment either by making the donation to the National Economic Fund (NEF), Government bonds or by paying the remaining balance of purchasing the real estate project or the approved business.

The payment must be made within 90 days after approval.

The Certificates of Naturalization will be issued for all family members in the file and the passport applications will be finalized.

Once the passports are issued within 10-15 days, they can be collected in the MICS head office, or they can be delivered to the applicants. This is when the last payment of MICS professional fee balance will be due.
