What about Saint Lucia?

Since watching the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, all my friends have known about this magical sea area. With the upsurge of immigration in recent years, Caribbean countries have also attracted the attention of many overseas people. The following is a true story. I have to say that Saint Lucia immigration is really the most economical way in the Caribbean!

When it comes to Caribbean passports, many people will mention Saint Kitts and Nevis. Although the name is confusing, Zhang Lan, president of South Beauty, and Ji Kaiting, the second-generation head of Longhu Real Estate, all have this passport. For a time, Saint Kitts seemed to be synonymous with the Caribbean.

But in fact, there are many countries with stable immigration projects on the small islands dotted in the Caribbean, such as Saint Lucia.

Geographical location of Saint Lucia

This island country, located in the central part of windward islands in the eastern Caribbean, has attracted countless immigrants since the official launch of the investment immigration program for global investment naturalization applicants on 20 15. Why do you see it? Let me give you an example first:

Lao Wang owns a tens of millions of enterprises in China and recently plans to go public overseas, so he often goes to many European and American countries for meetings. Lao Wang, who has never immigrated, has a troublesome and cumbersome process when applying for visas in some countries. So he decided to follow in the footsteps of the rich and immigrate to Saint Kitts.

However, when discussing with friends around him, he found that immigrating to Saint Kitts is not very affordable, because not only he wants to immigrate, but also his wife and adult children want to immigrate. So on this issue, Lao Wang wavered between Dominica and Saint Lucia. Because both island countries allow dual citizenship, and the tax treatment is also very satisfactory, such as capital gains, which are tax-free. It can be said that whether in Dominica or Saint Lucia, reasonable and legal tax avoidance can be carried out.

Lao Wang, who couldn't figure it out, decided to ask his friend Lao Li, an immigration expert, in the hope that he could give constructive advice.

Lao Li said that St. Kitts' personal immigration cost is $250,000, and you have a wife and adult children. If they immigrate, one person will have to add 50,000 US dollars, while the cost of individual immigration in Dominica is only 6.5438+US dollars, but the cost of adding one person is still 50,000 US dollars, but it is still much cheaper anyway. However, compared with Saint Lucia, although the personal price is the same as that of Dominica, the cost of adding one more family member is only $25,000, which is more cost-effective.

Moreover, economically speaking, Dominica is a low-and middle-income country, and its economy is dominated by agriculture. The government strives to promote agricultural diversification, but your business is foreign trade, and Saint Lucia's main trade targets are the United States, Britain, Canada and Caribbean member countries. It can be said that Saint Lucia, with a relatively developed economy, is a better choice if it can help your trade. In addition, you can enjoy the duty-free treatment of these Caribbean island countries.

If we compare Saint Kitts and Saint Lucia, both countries have no diplomatic relations with China, but judging from the economic cost of the application, the latter is much more economical and the approval time is shorter. Therefore, whether it is Saint Kitts or Dominica, after comparing Saint Lucia, it is found that Saint Lucia is the most cost-effective and most suitable for Lao Wang.

Hearing this, Lao Wang suddenly realized that the island countries in the same sea area have such detailed differences in the welfare treatment of their residents. It seems that when you plan your identity in the future, you must compare it in many aspects.

Saint Lucia with a pleasant environment
