St. Lucia’s Citizen by Investment Program was ranked second to last out of a list of countries by immigration advisory firm Henley and Partners.
The island only ranked better than Dominica who was at the bottom of the table while Malta was ranked as first for the second year in a row.
Henley and Partners is a research firm that publishes reports on citizenship schemes worldwide.
Earlier last month Managing Partner of the firm, Dr. Juerg Steffen, criticized certain aspects of the program.
The Citizenship by Investment Board responded to the criticisms in a release soon after.
The Citizenship by Investment Program is a scheme launched by the Government of St. Lucia that will allow individuals who fits certain criteria to become citizens by investing in the country.
