Programme overview

A route designed around
your family and future.

Saint Lucia is an independent Commonwealth state in the Eastern Caribbean, known for the Pitons, rainforest, beaches and a tourism-led economy. Its Citizenship by Investment Programme was established under legislation enacted in 2015.

The programme offers a regulated route to Saint Lucian citizenship for approved applicants and qualifying family members. It can support mobility and family contingency planning, but citizenship alone does not guarantee tax residence, banking access or immigration rights in another country.

Applications must be submitted through a licensed Authorised Agent. Baytii works with Global Citizen Consultants to assess eligibility, coordinate documentation and manage the file through the official process.
