In the history of immigration, government bond immigration programs have always been popular. Many investors are surely familiar with the once-thriving Hungary program, which triggered a wave of Chinese immigration! In the current immigration market, a cost-effective government bond project with a low threshold has captured the attention of investors, quickly becoming a hit in the immigration circle and remaining consistently popular. It is the Saint Lucia COVID-19 Relief Bond program.
Safe, government-issued bonds backed by national credit
The Saint Lucia government bond program is issued by the Saint Lucia Ministry of Finance and provides bond certificates, with funds collected by the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU). As bonds issued with the guarantee of Saint Lucia's national credit, their safety is unquestionable. Furthermore, Saint Lucia possesses excellent financial credibility and has never defaulted on or delayed payments for its national debt. The government bonds purchased by investors are recorded under the applicant's name, and the principal is returned after the specified number of years. It is worth noting that the deadline for this bond issuance is December 31, 2020, so interested investors must seize the opportunity.
Affordable pricing, immigration is no longer the patent of the wealthy
Nowadays, more and more wealthy individuals are choosing to immigrate overseas for a high-quality future life, multi-faceted development, and superior education and welfare. However, there are also some people who have the desire to immigrate but either do not want to or are unable to invest too much money into it, yet still hope to enjoy the same treatment and benefits as immigrants.
As an immigration program with affordable pricing and a simple, fast path to obtaining status, the Saint Lucia government bond program provides an option for this group. With it, immigration is no longer the patent of the wealthy! Investors only need to invest from $250,000 to purchase government bonds issued by the Saint Lucia government, and the principal can be returned after holding them for a minimum of 5 years, while the whole family obtains a passport from the Commonwealth country of Saint Lucia. Moreover, there are no age, education, or language requirements for the investment applicant, no residency requirements, and no need to visit Saint Lucia to complete the immigration process.
Flexible policies, one application allows the whole family of three generations plus siblings to immigrate
Currently, the Saint Lucia government has amended the Citizenship by Investment Program Act, expanding the scope of dependent applicants, lowering the requirements for children and parents to become dependents, and adding the main applicant's siblings as dependent applicants. At the same time, the reunion policy has been modified and supplemented, meaning that after the main applicant obtains status, they can add eligible dependents, including children born/legally adopted after the original application, and spouses married after the original application. In addition, dependents who were already eligible before the applicant obtained status can apply for citizenship within 5 years after the applicant obtains status. These policies also apply to the Saint Lucia COVID-19 Relief Bond program.
It is not difficult to see that in terms of policy orientation, the new Saint Lucia immigration act enhances the effectiveness of the reunion policy to a greater extent and meets the application needs of the applicant and their spouse and children, which will undoubtedly attract more investors to make direct investments!
