Recently, the Best Citizenships website released the "2021 Best Investment Citizenship Rankings." This ranking is based on a comprehensive assessment of 37 key indicators related to investment citizenship across various countries' investment immigration programs. Ultimately, the Saint Lucia Investment Citizenship Program won first place due to its numerous advantages.
Due to the impact of the pandemic, this year's investment citizenship rankings have also changed. Investment citizenship programs that allow for citizenship without the need to travel have become increasingly favored by investors. According to the rankings, the Saint Lucia Investment Citizenship Program ranks first, followed closely by the Dominica Investment Citizenship Program, with the Grenada Investment Citizenship Program in third place. Overall, investment citizenship programs from Caribbean countries occupy the top positions.
The reason why investment citizenship programs from Caribbean countries like Saint Lucia can rank highly is due to significant reforms these countries have made to their investment citizenship programs. For example, they have adopted online application processes, introduced incentives during the pandemic, and strengthened review standards. These reforms have made investment citizenship programs simpler, easier, and more affordable to continuously attract investors.
In 2020, the government of Saint Lucia made significant progress in areas such as due diligence, transparency, cost reduction, the introduction of pandemic bonds, and the expansion of the scope of dependent applicants, as well as processing applications online. They also took the lead in introducing digital solutions, making the Saint Lucia Investment Citizenship Program rightfully the top choice!
Saint Lucia, a beautiful and mysterious island, has always attracted global investors with its friendly tax system, business environment, and powerful passport. According to the "2019 Doing Business Report" published by the World Bank, Saint Lucia ranks 8th in the entire Latin America region and 1st among Caribbean countries with investment citizenship programs.
Such an excellent Saint Lucia has attracted waves of investors. Currently, investors can apply for investment immigration to Saint Lucia through the Saint Lucia Investment Citizenship Program, easily starting an international lifestyle while achieving a win-win situation of overseas investment and overseas identity. The currently popular Saint Lucia pandemic bond project allows investors to purchase Saint Lucia government bonds starting from $250,000, with the principal returned after a minimum holding period of 5 years. This low-threshold, low-cost opportunity allows the whole family to apply for citizenship in the Commonwealth country of Saint Lucia. The policy is time-limited and valid until December 31, 2021, so good projects and opportunities must be seized in a timely manner.
Furthermore, the government of Saint Lucia has recently revised the investment citizenship program legislation, expanding the scope of dependent applicants, lowering the requirements for children and parents to become dependents, and adding siblings of the main applicant as dependent applicants. Additionally, the family reunification policy has been modified to allow for the addition of eligible dependents after the main applicant obtains citizenship, including children born or legally adopted after obtaining citizenship and spouses married after obtaining citizenship. Moreover, dependents who were eligible before the applicant obtained citizenship can apply for citizenship within 5 years after the applicant obtains citizenship. These policies also apply to the Saint Lucia pandemic bond project.
It is evident that, in terms of policy direction, the new immigration legislation of Saint Lucia significantly enhances the effectiveness of family reunification policies and meets the application needs of applicants and their spouses and children, undoubtedly attracting more investors to make direct investments! The best time to invest in immigration to Saint Lucia is now!
