St. Lucia Passport Program

Project Summary

The Best Citizenships website released the 2021 Best Citizenship by Investment Ranking. This ranking comprehensively evaluated 37 important indicators related to investment immigration and citizenship projects in many countries around the world. St. Lucia successfully won the championship.

Affected by the epidemic, this year’s investment citizenship ranking has also changed. The citizenship by investment program that can obtain citizenship without landing is favored by more and more investors. According to the ranking, the St. Lucia citizenship by investment plan ranks first, followed by the Dominica citizenship by investment plan, and the Grenada citizenship by investment plan is third. Overall, the citizenship by investment programs of Caribbean countries occupy the top few places.
