Hello, please I'd love to chat privately with you.

[@rufdymond]

I have been thinking of doing this myself - both of my parents are Lucian 😀

[@Bluestone2611]

Thank you Andrew. I just listened to your interview with Robert Kyosaki on Rich Dad Radio and I’m devouring your content. Thanks again for your insight, it’s greatly appreciated.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Much appreciated; welcome.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Wow, thank you Amirah!

[@cr6129]

Another great video! Thanks Andrew! (I was hoping this St Lucia vid would be available today since the other CBI’s are getting updates) I enjoyed the comment about nicer beaches here. I’d like to visit all the islands sometime.

[@passivesolar6194]

Whats not to love about St Lucia? Gorgeous!

[@simphiwer8970]

I'm enjoying this updated version of the CBI options. Just as you advice in your other videos, this programmes are not guaranteed to be around forever. More requirements will be added for people who want join at a later date. Andrew please discuss Malta, Austria, Vanuatu, Cambodia & Cape Verde programmes.

[@autotrade3863]

Great video Andrew! Please can you also share the requirements to apply for this citizenship by investment and can you also recommend an agency that can help as well

[@josejones4413]

Thanks for the update, Andrew

[@nomadcapitalist]

Jose Jones Happy to help, Jose

There are 4 large resorts that are going up in St Lucia currently. 2 Golf, 1 Horse and the other is 2 luxury hotels. There will be plenty of home / villias available within the next 3 years.

[@donkeysaurusrex7881]

I would like to live in the horse community. They are much more polite than humans.

[@kareemelghosin3356]

Hi Andrew and thank you for the updates on CBI programs. I was wondering if you can make a video on some of the South American countries like Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. I heared they also have their own programs.

Hi Andrew, quick question -- from the time your authorized agent submitted your application to the St. Lucia CBI Unit, how long did it take for you to get approved? Thanks for all the info!

[@medqenmedness229]

Quality content!

[@jacoaucamp2155]

Thank you! So informative

[@rachelflaat3817]

I have a daughter. I would be interested in a video, which second passport options offer the best education options for her as a citizen? Upvote if you agree.

[@realityfitness7642]

Can you do a video for countries that’s thinking about CBI program like st.vincent?

[@SwallCloud]

Comment already published in st kitt video but as it's a general content concerning all locations and related person's interests, i publish it here too : Thanks for this video series still very focused on investment options. What really miss are minimum presence period obligation per year (mentioned only in the Antigua & Barbuda video if i remember well) and taxes if we have a real address in the choosed country (not necessarily to live in but for the purpose to have a tax residency to prove our first country we don't depend on him anymore for taxes). The thing is if we build a company in one of those countries (nevis for example), we have an address but does it drive to taxes then? Also, what are the pro and cons for someone to have an address and a company in the same country as generally it's adviced to split interests ? Can CBI program in one country and residency program in another could be a replacement solution? Appparently not for sport traders for example as a betting exchange platform (such as betdaq for example) will ask you both a residency proof and an id. These were just examples of basic question articulation about these programs and informations necessary for anyone having to choose a citizenship by investment program.

[@tillhuberg5117]

beautiful. 💓

[@beleniturriozizagirre1902]

Interesting video. Just one thing. MEXICO belongs to North America, along with CANADA and the US, NOT Central America......

[@Johndoe-qn9jr]

Is it possible to to pay lowe taxes safe without living in the country for 6 mounths a year ? I think monaco and Switzerlandd has this rule, maybe even Cyprus. Greece is nice but i think maybe it is not so tax and goverment secure, i have heard some horror story from there :) I am swedish zitisen. Thank You

[@lydiadelbridge]

Air travel from the US seems very costly to St. Lucia.

[@greyowl6387]

Is it possible to get a passport to St. Kitts?

[@rickawesome4150]

So does it sounds logical andrew to wire you $100000 plus other hidden fees otherwise is not required to meet in person or even have an interview with the immigration authorities

[@KSterling32]

Which agency did you use?

[@loanauditscal]

Is it a flat fee for life or does the passport fee have to be renewed and what is that fee?

[@nomadcapitalist]

It is renewed like a normal passport every five years.

[@HoneyBadger1779]

You might be getting a principle back nominally but you are losing on inflation.

[@simeonyisrayiyl1501]

Apologize to comment on a year old video. Here's my humble opinion, Satin Lucia is a bit outrage on it's various rise, it is an avoidable option for CBI. Considering visa free, St.Lucia has more visa free than Commonwealth of Dominica, but it doesn't has free access to countries that deserves us for a summer visit, which are the countries that Dominica passport do has visa free access to them, countries like Serbia, Brazil and Uruguay; comparing them to Argentina and Chile, these two are massively crowed for tourism, natural beauty is relatively isolated by urban, of course not much, but I thinks, especially Uruguay and Serbia are better places to visit and easier for visitors to enjoys the local specialty. Honestly, then for the rest of other countries that St Lucia passport enjoys visa free entry, they are MOSTLY not places which people of CBI should feel free to visit them on Caribbean passport, some countries gives hardship to CBI personal of Caribbean passport, like my experience in Cambodia, the border inspection arrested me right away, he said he couldn't accept my Caribbean passport, I believes, this is also applicable to African countries which Saint -Lucia passport enjoys a visa free access. And about Taiwan, St Lucia abolished it's diplomatic connection with China to put Taiwan on instead, and hence exchange this visa free access with Taiwan, but come on, how many people really needs to visit Taiwan as their major spot? Especially for CBI personal, they probably look up more chances from China than in Taiwan, another scary fact is, China is likely going to hands on Taiwan for sure, this diplomatic connection with Taiwan was so useless from a predicable future perspective, and supposes that you really want to enjoy visa free to Taiwan because you look up to Taiwan more, then considers that, after China take over Taiwan, anyhow you won't be able to visit there on visa free access again, although it might be recovered, but chance is low, as St.Lucia volunteer to somehow "hostile" China, when Lucia government explained their move to linked with Taiwan, the official statement was sentimental, a kind a like "so what!" to China; hence, for visa free to Taiwan, on most of the western passport is enough. Comparing it to Commonwealth of Dominica, I find that Saint Lucia has an agenda of ideology making, a type of nationalist sentiment, it is just my intuitive feeling, not a fact that which I've observed to demonstrate it. Where for the rest of other CBI nations in Caribbean, you are meant to be a "free man", especially free from nationalist sentiment, and commonwealth of Dominica is the easiest and the cheapest one, hence I am in favor to Commonwealth of Dominica instead.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Thanks for the insight!

[@xnysgt]

That's a lot of personal opinion, speculation and conjecture. If you end up actually learning of anything factually based that could help us or contribute to our wealth of knowledge, please share. It would be greatly appreciated.

[@vutEwa]

What about if someone wanted to start a business there, i.e. a software company? Would they maybe look favorable at that and possibly offer citizenship? I don't have the funds to exercise those other options without breaking my nest egg and I'm in my 50's and my nest egg is all I have. Thanks to the dot com bubble in the 2000's and a broken partnership resulting in going bankrupt, it's been a long road to this point. But I've got a product and desire to start a software business with this product and would hire locals wherever I were to go. Want to leave California in the worst way but want fair weather to grow my veggies year round like how you can do here. (I'm plant based diet guy and it's important to me to grow my own food). I had considered moving to Puerto Rico but with the Covid b.s. I am no longer considering that option since lockdowns are worse in Puerto Rico than here in California.

[@charlesthomas8639]

hi wut its possible to start a software company all by yourself, you need to get in touch with Invest St lucia and propose an investement. if you live in the island after 7 years you re entitled to citizenship. regards

[@vutEwa]

@@charlesthomas8639 thanks, after seeing their response to the covid hoax I changed my mind about wanting to consider that country

[@charlesthomas8639]

@@vutEwa yes its pathetic....hook line and sinker....they believed it all. however be aware that if you dont toe the line of the WHO you wont get money to "fight"the pandemic. so in truth the lucian leaders have no choice.
