Saint Lucia is an Eastern Caribbean island nation with a pair of dramatically tapered mountains. Its coast is home to volcanic beaches, reef-diving sites, luxury resorts and fishing villages. The capital, Castries, is a popular cruise port and a favorite destination for English-speaking tourists. As a citizen of Saint Lucia, you can travel to over 144 countries visa-free, including the UK, Schengen countries and Russia, as well as important business hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong. Moreover, Saint Lucia is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, UN, IMF, and World Bank, among others.
Saint Lucia’s Citizenship by Investment Program is the newest and arguably the best-positioned program in the Caribbean. The government has masterfully positioned its program for the global elite by limiting application numbers.
