St. Lucia has established itself as a forward-thinking leader in the Caribbean citizenship landscape by implementing a robust interview process as part of their Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program.

This enhancement reflects St. Lucia's commitment to maintaining the program's integrity while creating a seamless experience for future citizens.

The Strategic Value of CBI Interviews

The interview requirement represents St. Lucia's dedication to excellence in their citizenship program.

While some might view this as an additional step, it's actually a strategic move that enhances the long-term value of your citizenship investment.

Strong due diligence processes help maintain the program's reputation and protect the value of St. Lucian citizenship for all participants.

St. Lucia's interview requirements apply to:

  • All main applicants (mandatory)

You can choose from several interview formats:
