I will use Steemit to post information related to Citizen Investment Program in St Lucia, Caribbean.
Information on CIP
A Citizen Investment Program is a means for a government to stimulate the local economy by granting Citizenship, and therefore granting a passport against a qualified investment. In this particular case it is related to real estate, when a particular real estate development program qualifies or is approved by the governement for CIP it results in issuance of passports for each individual that invests US$ 300.000 through the purchase of fractional ownership of the real estate project.
Below is a breakdown of the complete cost* for a family of four, however the key component is the US$ 300.000 investment.
The chronicle order is a follows:
