Our Take
Saint Lucia on the CitizenX comparison set
No special crypto-payment rail on the CitizenX program page. Treat as standard documented source of funds. The long CitizenX-published time to passport (2 years) is the bigger issue.
Presence: No visit required to obtain citizenship
- - Government bond route all-in (CitizenX): $396,682
