Mc Claude Emmanuel takes Saint Lucia CIP to new heights, attracting HNWIs worldwide

The head of the Citizenship by Investment Programme of Saint Lucia, Mc Claude Emmanuel, is working continuously to boost the CIP and make it the foremost choice of investors.

As one of the youngest CBI offerings in the market, Saint Lucia certainly competes with the best in terms of what it has to offer the HNWIs. The programme has established itself as one of the most reputable and sought-after Citizenship By Investment programmes because of the continuous work of Mc Claude Emmanuel and his team.

The programme gives investors and their families the chance to become citizens of Saint Lucia in around four months. Presently, there are four main ways through which investors can acquire a coveted Saint Lucia citizenship, with the primary one being through the National Economic Fund.

For a minimum investment of US$ 100,000.00 for a single investor, individuals can become part of the Caribbean's biggest success stories.

During an interview in February 2023, Emmanuel highlighted that investors and high-net-worth individuals are increasingly looking to acquire Saint Lucia's citizenship due to the programme's integrity. He outlined that his team does not compromise on due diligence and ensures every applicant is screened, vetted and assessed properly.

The CEO said that the country aims to grant citizenship to people who can add value to the nation and does not put the brand in any disrepute.

The CIP Saint Lucia also looks forward to bringing the best for the investors. Last year in January, the country modified the regulations governing its CBI Programme to remain competitive.

The changes were introduced in January 2023 and included reductions in the real estate investment amount from US$300,000 to US$200,000.

While announcing this major change, Emmanuel stated that he is aware that the programme is operating within a global landscape and several neighbouring larger territories are facing their own economic slumps, which is why having more competitive price points in the real estate would help the country to meet the market at decent points.

Launched in 2016 and being the newest in the market, Saint Lucia CIP has made a place for itself among the discerning investors and is being recognised by international players across the globe.
