St Lucia has an attractive tax regime as it does not collect tax on income, wealth or inheritance.
The initial Citizenship by Investment route involves a contribution of $100,000 from you. This amount increases to $140,000 if you include your spouse in the application. For a family that includes two additional dependents, the required contribution is $150,000.
Moreover, adding any new dependent to a family of four incurs an additional cost of $15,000 per dependent. Besides these contributions, there’s a processing fee of $2,000 for you and an additional $1,000 for each dependent. Consequently, the due diligence fees amount to $7,500 for you and $5,000 for each dependent over 16 years of age.
Place $300,000 into these specified non-interest-bearing bonds and cover a $50,000 administration fee, which encompasses a $2,000 processing fee for yourself and an additional $1,000 for each dependent.
Additionally, you are responsible for due diligence fees of $7,500 for yourself and $5,000 for each dependent over 16 years of age. It’s crucial to remember that these bonds must be retained for a period of five years.
Make an investment of $200,000 in premium tourist properties. Additionally, as a single applicant, you are required to pay a $30,000 administrative fee, which rises to $45,000 if you include your spouse in the application.
You will also incur a $5,000 administrative fee for each dependent under 18 years of age, and $10,000 for those aged 18 and over. Lastly, the due diligence fees are set at $7,500 for yourself and $5,000 for each dependent over the age of 16.
Contribute $100,000 as an individual applicant or $150,000 for a family of up to four towards various sectors such as:
On top of this, an additional administration fee of US$15,000 is required. Dependents aged 18 and above will be charged an administrative fee of $35,000, while those under 18 have a fee of $25,000.
For applications involving just you and your spouse, the total administrative fee is $40,000 ($20,000 each). If applying with two dependents, the fee per person is $25,000, and for three dependents, it’s $30,000 each.
Onboarding process:
Our process begins with an initial due diligence phase. Once you successfully pass this screening, we will present you with a Client Agreement (CA) for your examination and signature.
After we receive the signed agreement along with the retainer fee, our case processing team will take charge of completing all the required government forms and relevant supporting documents. Should the program mandate a property investment, you’ll be required to finalize a sales and purchase agreement with the developer.
In the final stage, we act as intermediaries between you, the property developer, and the St Lucia Citizenship by Investment Unit, managing all communications and coordination on your behalf.
Application review and submission:
Prior to the submission of your documents, we will conduct a thorough review of your application to verify that it meets the criteria of the Citizenship by Investment Unit. In addition, our legal team will carry out final verifications before forwarding the necessary forms.
The Unit itself will perform its own due diligence, examining all submitted documents. We will maintain close coordination with them throughout this phase to ensure that your application is processed both swiftly and effectively.
As the main applicant, you are required to participate in an interview with the St Lucia Citizenship by Investment Unit. This interview can be conducted in person at their headquarters in Castries, or you have the option to arrange an online session.
Citizenship issued
The Citizenship by Investment Unit will evaluate your application and, upon approval, you are required to complete all essential contributions and settle any relevant government fees. Subsequently, you must sign the oath of allegiance in the presence of an attorney-at-law, a Consular Officer of St Lucia, an Honorary Consul of St Lucia, or a Notary Royal, or Notary Public.
Following this, you will be eligible to collect your Certificate of Registration. This can be done either at the Castries headquarters or at the closest Consulate or Embassy of St Lucia.
