When an investor contacts professional services, a preliminary due diligence check is conducted against international databases. The check helps identify rejection risks and take measures to reduce or eliminate them if necessary.
A certified Anti Money Laundering Officer conducts the preliminary due diligence. The check reduces the rejection risk to 1%.

Professional lawyers draw up a list of required documents. The investor provides passports, certificates, bank statements and other personal and financial records.
The lawyers notarise the copies, translate documents, fill out the required forms, and draw written statements or affidavits to apply for the CBI program.
Professional lawyers send the prepared documents to the St Lucia CBI unit. The CBI unit conducts Due Diligence: the officers check applicants' reputations and finances.
Due Diligence is mandatory for the investor and all family members over 16 included in the application. An interview is a part of Due Diligence. The main applicant can pass it in person or online; the procedure is in English.
The CBI unit informs applicants when the application is approved. Once the notification is received, the investor must fulfil the investment condition: transfer the required amount to the state fund, buy bonds or real estate, invest in a business or an infrastructure project.
The investment must be made within 90 days.
Professional lawyers prepare several documents, for example, an oath of allegiance and birth certificates. They send the documents to St Lucia.
A naturalisation certificate is issued within 4 weeks. After citizenship is granted, authorities issue a passport. The investor receives the documents by courier at a convenient address.
