The Government of Saint Lucia is committed to citizenship by investment via the economic contribution (donation) option. Saint Lucia’s economy is well developed with tourism being the largest contributor to the economy. In fact, the economy is close to four times the size of its regional neighbors offering similar citizenship by investment programs making it one of the most prosperous islands in the Caribbean. In 2017, it was ranked the second country in the Caribbean for ease of doing business by the World Bank.
In addition Saint Lucia was named as a “prime example of the paradise” for the super-rich to stay in 2016 by Bloomberg.
