&lt;h3&gt;How to Obtain Saint Lucia Citizenship through Investment&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saint Lucia offer one of the most cost-effective Citizenship by Investment programme offerings in the Caribbean. There are three main investment routes that applicants can apply through. The first is by contributing (donating) to Saint Lucia’s National Development Fund. The route requires a minimum donation of $240,000, plus fees. The second option is by investing in government approved real estate projects, from $300,000. The third route, is a five-year investment in Government Bonds. See below for more details on each route.
&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;/div&gt;
              &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment programme was launched by the government on 1st January 2016. Applicants can apply for St Lucia’s citizenship programme via three main investment routes, donation, real estate investment and a government bond investment. Successful applicants will be granted St Lucia citizenship and a passport which will enable them to gain visa-free travel to more than 158 countries worldwide.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

                          &lt;p&gt;In addition to making the necessary investment or donation there are several requirements that applicants must meet for Saint Lucia&lt;/p&gt;
                          &lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Family members can be included in the application for St Lucia citizenship. The main investor can include:&lt;/p&gt;

                         &lt;p&gt;One of the many attractions of gaining second citizenship in Saint Lucia is that the Citizenship by Investment programme does not have any minimum stay requirements. Citizens of St Lucia have the right to live, work or study in St Lucia, if they wish to, but this is not a pre-requisite of the programme. There is also no interview or language test required.&lt;/p&gt;

Additional due diligence and processing fees are also applicable and will vary depending on the applicant’s age and the size of their family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;
                      &lt;/div&gt;

                          &lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                         &lt;p&gt;For the real estate route, applicants must invest in a government-approved real estate development for a minimum of $300,000, plus fees. The investment must be held for a minimum holding period of five years, after which it may be liquidated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;
                      &lt;/div&gt;

                         &lt;p&gt;Citizenship by Investment Applicants can also choose to deposit $300,000 into a refundable Government Bond, known as the National Action Bond. The bond has a minimum holding period of five years, after which the capital can be returned to the investor at 0% interest. The investment is $300,000 regardless of how many family members are included in the application. There is also an additional non-refundable administration fee of $50,000 required, plus other application and due diligence fees.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;
                      &lt;/div&gt;

                         &lt;p&gt;Citizenship by Investment Applicants can also choose to invest $250,000 into a local enterprise project. The investment is $250,000 for families up to four person, plus an administration fee and all other application and due diligence fees apply.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 &lt;h3&gt;How Long Does It take?&lt;/h3&gt;
                          &lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                         &lt;p&gt;Applications for the St Lucia Citizenship Investment programme take an average of 5-6 months to be processed from the date the applicant’s file is submitted to St Lucia’s Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU). Typically, it takes most applicants between 2-6 weeks prior to this to gather all their documentation. Casa Aurum’s in-house processing team will assist applicants with this entire process and the application can be filed remotely, no need to travel. See the FAQ’s for a more detailed breakdown of the timeframe.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

                         
                         &lt;p&gt;Important Note: Only certain international agents are authorised by the CIP to promote the St Lucia citizenship by investment programme. Casa Aurum (Licence No. PM43LV300118) is approved by the St. Lucia government to promote the programme.
&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Benefits of Programme&lt;/h3&gt;
                          &lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                         &lt;p&gt;Once investors have successfully been granted Saint Lucian Citizenship, they will be issued with a Saint Lucia passport. St Lucian passport holders benefit from visa-free access to 158 countries and territories worldwide according to Casa Aurum’s Unique Passport Investment Report. This represents over a third of the world’s GDP and includes access to the EU Schengen zone, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and more.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;div class=&quot;space24&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;
                      &lt;/div&gt;

                  &lt;/div&gt;
              &lt;/div&gt;
              &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
            
           
        &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

            &lt;p&gt;You can choose your real estate investment remotely through our trusted advisors, or you can visit St Lucia to select your investment and appoint a lawyer to take care of the conveyancing on your behalf. Through Power of Attorney the property purchase can be completed at the notary in your absence.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;space8&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

            &lt;div class=&quot;space8&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;Once the real estate investment is complete, usually within 30 days, you can then apply. Clients will need to attend an application appointment to submit their biometric data, or it can be submitted within six months following the appointment.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;space32&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

            &lt;div class=&quot;space8&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;Once your golden visa application has been approved you will be issued with a five-year St Lucia Permanent Residency permit. This can be renewed every five years providing the real estate investment is maintained.

&lt;/p&gt;

                            How does the St Lucia Golden Visa compare to Portugal?
                            &lt;/button&gt;
                          &lt;/h2&gt;
                          &lt;div id=&quot;flush-collapseOne&quot; class=&quot;accordion-collapse collapse&quot; data-bs-parent=&quot;#accordionFlushExample&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;
                            &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-body&quot;&gt;Casa Aurum has more than 10 years’ experience dealing with both the St Lucia and Portuguese golden visa programmes. The main difference between these programmes is that Portugal offers a more flexible path to citizenship. St Lucia’s Permanent Residency programme is better suited to those who specifically want real estate in St Lucia, with the added advantage of a residency permit. If your end goal is citizenship in the EU, then St Lucia may not be the most suitable option as you must reside full time for seven year and speak fluent St Lucia.
&lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;
                        &lt;/div&gt;
                        &lt;div class=&quot;space16&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                        &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-item&quot;&gt;

                            Where do applicants invest for the St Lucia Golden Visa?
                            &lt;/button&gt;
                          &lt;/h2&gt;
                          &lt;div id=&quot;flush-collapseTwo&quot; class=&quot;accordion-collapse collapse&quot; data-bs-parent=&quot;#accordionFlushExample&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;
                            &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-body&quot;&gt;Athens is one of the most favoured areas for investment for the golden visa in St Lucia. However, as of May 2023, the required investment in Athens and 35 other municipalities in St Lucia will double to €500,000. The government are introducing this law in a bid to spread foreign investment more equally across the country. Elsewhere the investment remains at €250,000.

&lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;
                        &lt;/div&gt;
                        &lt;div class=&quot;space16&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                        &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-item&quot;&gt;
                          &lt;h2 class=&quot;accordion-header&quot;&gt;
                            &lt;button class=&quot;accordion-button collapsed&quot; type=&quot;button&quot; data-bs-toggle=&quot;collapse&quot; data-bs-target=&quot;#flush-collapseThree&quot; aria-expanded=&quot;false&quot; aria-controls=&quot;flush-collapseThree&quot;&gt;
                            How do I obtain citizenship in St Lucia through investment?
                            &lt;/button&gt;
                          &lt;/h2&gt;
                          &lt;div id=&quot;flush-collapseThree&quot; class=&quot;accordion-collapse collapse&quot; data-bs-parent=&quot;#accordionFlushExample&quot;&gt;
                            &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-body&quot;&gt;It is not possible to obtain citizenship through investment in St Lucia without a period of residency. Investment in real estate can obtain a golden visa, a permanent residency permit, and the right to live full time in St Lucia. Following seven years of residency, St Lucia citizenship can be applied for, providing the applicant can speak fluent St Lucia. Note that St Lucia is considered one of the world’s hardest languages to learn and for many this factor will stop them applying for St Lucia Citizenship. If your end goal is to secure citizenship in Europe, then you may wish to consider another programme.

&lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;
                        &lt;/div&gt;
                        &lt;div class=&quot;space16&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                        &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-item&quot;&gt;

                              Who can apply for a St Lucia Golden Visa?
                              &lt;/button&gt;
                            &lt;/h2&gt;

                              &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-body&quot;&gt;Anyone can apply for St Lucia’s Golden Visa Programme. Casa Aurum has handled applications from over 150 countries worldwide. As with any programme, certain nationalities, such as Iranians and Russians, face banking sanctions so will be prohibited from transferring their funds to a St Lucia bank. Casa Aurum can advise on a case-by-case basis.

&lt;/div&gt;
                            &lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;

                              Do you pay tax in St Lucia if holding a Golden Visa?
                              &lt;/button&gt;
                            &lt;/h2&gt;

                              &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-body&quot;&gt;Non-residents in St Lucia will pay tax on their income derived in St Lucia but not on income from outside of the country. Income tax starts at a rate of 22%. Rental income from property in St Lucia is taxed at rates, from 11% to 33%. Certain expenses are deductible from the gross income. Capital gains tax (CGT) is charged at 15% on property sales.&lt;/div&gt;
                            &lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;

                              Can I apply for a Golden Visa in St Lucia with a mortgage?

                              &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-body&quot;&gt;Yes, however you must have invested a minimum of €250,000 equity in the property. So, for example, a purchase of €750,000 with a €500,000 mortgage will qualify for the golden visa application.&lt;/div&gt;
                            &lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;

                              Are there disadvantages to the Golden Visa in St Lucia?
                              &lt;/button&gt;
                            &lt;/h2&gt;
                            &lt;div id=&quot;flush-collapseSeven&quot; class=&quot;accordion-collapse collapse&quot; data-bs-parent=&quot;#accordionFlushExample&quot;&gt;
                              &lt;div class=&quot;accordion-body&quot;&gt;The key disadvantage is the inability to apply for St Lucia citizenship without a period of residency in St Lucia and the ability to speak fluent St Lucia. Our clients are not usually looking to relocate countries and that is one of the key reasons why Portugal remains more popular than St Lucia for Golden Visa investors.&lt;/div&gt;
                            &lt;/div&gt;
                          &lt;/div&gt;
                      &lt;/div&gt;
                &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
