I’m considering applying for St Lucia citizenship and prefer the government bonds option even though it’s more expensive because I’d rather not lose the money entirely. My question is, can I take some of the money out of the bonds within a year or two to purchase something in St Lucia, or invest in a business, or do I have to keep the whole sum for five years?
Answers
You are required to hold the bond for 5 years, no interest. Unfortunately, you are unable to withdraw any money out of the bond within the 5 year period no matter whether you may wish to purchase property or invest locally.
