Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Unit in response to the Covid-19, has made several deductions and created a new relief bond to accommodate investors during this very difficult time, making it one of the most sought after citizenship programs and one of the best Citizenship by Investment Program for 2020.

WHAT IS THE CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT

Citizenship by Investment is a process in which wealthy people can obtain a second citizenship in exchange for an investment or donation extremely quickly. The demand for citizenship through investment and the need for second passports among HNW (High Net-Worth) families increases annually by 25 percent.

There are subtle differences between economic citizenship and investment citizenship, and it is important not to confuse one with another.  Golden visas are also often confused with citizenship. Golden visas do not offer passports and are not investment citizenship.

The citizenship by investment industry is expected to hit $10 billion annually by 2025.
