Onboarding process:
Our process begins with an initial due diligence phase. Once you successfully pass this screening, we will present you with a Client Agreement (CA) for your examination and signature.
After we receive the signed agreement along with the retainer fee, our case processing team will take charge of completing all the required government forms and relevant supporting documents. Should the program mandate a property investment, you’ll be required to finalize a sales and purchase agreement with the developer.
In the final stage, we act as intermediaries between you, the property developer, and the St Lucia Citizenship by Investment Unit, managing all communications and coordination on your behalf.
Application review and submission:
Prior to the submission of your documents, we will conduct a thorough review of your application to verify that it meets the criteria of the Citizenship by Investment Unit. In addition, our legal team will carry out final verifications before forwarding the necessary forms.
The Unit itself will perform its own due diligence, examining all submitted documents. We will maintain close coordination with them throughout this phase to ensure that your application is processed both swiftly and effectively.
As the main applicant, you are required to participate in an interview with the St Lucia Citizenship by Investment Unit. This interview can be conducted in person at their headquarters in Castries, or you have the option to arrange an online session.
Citizenship issued
The Citizenship by Investment Unit will evaluate your application and, upon approval, you are required to complete all essential contributions and settle any relevant government fees. Subsequently, you must sign the oath of allegiance in the presence of an attorney-at-law, a Consular Officer of St Lucia, an Honorary Consul of St Lucia, or a Notary Royal, or Notary Public.
Following this, you will be eligible to collect your Certificate of Registration. This can be done either at the Castries headquarters or at the closest Consulate or Embassy of St Lucia.
