Saint Lucia is an island country in the Caribbean that is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. This gives Saint Lucia a very beautiful terrain that makes it a very wonderful place to reside, with it white beaches and a very nice rain forest and natural spring. St Lucia is one of the most beautiful countries you would ever visit. Little wonder it earned the title of ‘Helen of the West Indies.

This Caribbean nation offers a luxurious lifestyle amid a rustic and laid-back atmosphere. Its resorts, while small, boast of some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. And there are a wide variety of things you can do and see, including enjoying secluded and unspoiled beaches, climb the world-renowned Piton Mountains that have become the country’s unofficial symbol and exploring old plantations that harken back to the country’s colonial past.

The Citizenship by Investment program of Saint Lucia was launched recently in 2016 through which high-net-worth individuals and their families can get the Citizenship of Saint Lucia by either donating to the government, investing in an approved real estate project or investing in an enterprise project. To qualify for Saint Lucia Second Passport, applicants must fulfill one of the options below in addition to meeting the following criteria:

1. National Economic Fund

Saint Lucia. The funds contributed are used for various government projects. To make a contribution to the National Economic Fund, an individual should be ready to pay the sum of $100,000.

For couples who wish to become citizens, all they need to do is to make a contribution of $165,000 while a family of 4 makes a contribution of $190,000.
