Despite being one of the newest citizenship by investment programmes in the Caribbean, the St. Lucia citizenship by investment programme<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has already garnered popularity and a favourable international reputation. This global recognition is a direct result of the comprehensive due diligence process, competitive processing times, and unique investment options which are consistently reviewed.<\/p>\n

The National Action Bond (NAB) is the newest investment option offered by the St. Lucia<\/strong><\/a><\/span> CIU as of January 1st 2023, replacing the Covid-19 Relief Bonds previously offered alongside St. Lucia\u2019s<\/strong><\/span><\/a> three other investment routes. St. Lucia citizenship by investment programme offers the only investment of this kind in the Caribbean, a fully refundable government option at a fixed cost regardless of the number of dependents included. At $300,000, with a non-refundable government administration fee of $50,000, the non-interest-bearing bonds require a higher upfront outlay than other citizenship routes. This initial cost is offset by the ease of recouping the capital at the end of the maturation period, security of a government backed investment, and lower overall citizenship cost when compared to the alternative routes. Previous government bond options required investments between $250,000 and $500,000, with variable holding periods between 5 and 7 years.<\/p>\n

The St. Lucia<\/strong><\/a><\/span> CIU also announced a revision to the minimum investment required under the Real Estate investment option, lowering the previous $300,000 minimum to $200,000.<\/p>\n

With these recent adjustments, St. Lucia<\/strong><\/a><\/span> now offers potential investors 4 possible routes to citizenship.<\/p>\n
