Saint Lucia joined the Caribbean citizenship programmes in 2016 and offers the widest choice of routes: a donation, government bonds, approved real estate or an enterprise project. The bond option appeals to families who would rather recover their capital than donate it.

There is no residency or visit requirement, and processing takes around six to eight months. Citizens travel to around 145 destinations visa-free or with a visa on arrival, including the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Reach Immigration is listed by the government as an authorised agent for this program. See the official list

Questions people ask

Talk to a consultant: Assess my case

Do I get the bond money back?

Yes. The National Action Bond is redeemed at face value after five years. It carries no interest, and the government administration fee paid at purchase is not returned.

Is there a residency requirement?

No. You are not asked to visit or live in Saint Lucia at any stage.

What if my family grows after approval?

A spouse and children born later can be added for a separate fee, with due diligence on each new member.
