Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia offers Caribbean citizenship from a 240,000 USD contribution with no residence requirement. It is the only Caribbean programme with a genuinely redeemable route — government bonds returned after five years — though 50,000 USD in fees are not refundable and the bonds pay no yield.
