Saint Lucia, a Caribbean Island, entered the citizenship-by-investment arena in 2015, making it one of the youngest programs in the region. With a well-established financial sector attracting investors, its low-cost program further adds to its appeal. A single applicant can invest a minimum of US $100,000 in the country’s National Economic Fund and become a citizen in 3-6 months. The program also allows the inclusion of three or more generations in the application.

Boasting a safe and secure environment and offering increased visa-free travel to 146 countries, Saint Lucia proves to be extremely fruitful for investors. It holds the 3rd position on the Henley & Partner list, earning high scores across various qualities that contribute to making this program one of the best.
