St. Lucia Citizenship by Investment Overview

The St Lucia citizenship by investment program was introduced by the government in 2015 to encourage foreign investment while offering qualified applicants the opportunity to secure citizenship in one of the Caribbean’s most attractive destinations. The program has become popular for its flexible investment choices, straightforward application process, and family-friendly structure.

Applicants who qualify can receive citizenship within a relatively short processing period, along with access to a passport that allows visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to more than 140 countries and territories, including the United Kingdom, the Schengen Area, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Another reason many investors choose citizenship by investment in St Lucia is the country’s favorable lifestyle and economic environment. St. Lucia offers a peaceful atmosphere, strong tourism sector, modern infrastructure, and attractive tax advantages for international investors. Citizens also have the right to live, work, and study in St. Lucia and other OECS member countries.

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.
