One of our clients is an entrepreneur with active international operations in the export-import sector. His business required frequent trips to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East — 8–10 business trips per year. However, holding a Russian passport became increasingly difficult:
– visa restrictions tightened,
– the number of checks and inspections increased,
– some contracts were lost due to entry refusals.
“Every trip turned into a bureaucratic quest. There was a need to act quickly instead of waiting for visa approvals or proving trustworthiness at the border ” the client said.
He reached out to us after reading an analytical article on an investment portal where we discussed the possibilities of second citizenship for businessmen from countries with limited international access. After an online meeting with a consultant, the decision was made to proceed through the accelerated program.
The solution proposed by our team:
- Saint Lucia — optimal combination of cost ($100,000), timing (2–3 months), and international opportunities;
- Turkey — requires real estate investment and does not offer such wide visa access;
- Cyprus — financially burdensome and did not fit the client’s goals.
Saint Lucia was chosen as the most logical and cost-effective option.
During the procedure, there was a delay with the cross-border fund transfer. We involved a certified international payment operator, which allowed not only to complete the payment on time but also to avoid additional compliance questions.
Stages of obtaining citizenship:
- March 10 — initial questionnaire and document preparation;
- March 25 — application submission;
- April 1 — payment of the non-refundable investment contribution of $100,000 to the Saint Lucia government fund;
- May 20 — receipt of positive decision;
- June 10 — passport delivered to the client.
What the client gained:
- Visa-free access to over 140 countries, including the Schengen Area, the UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong;
- Ability to freely participate in international negotiations and exhibitions — without bureaucratic restrictions;
- Improved image in the eyes of foreign partners, who now see him as a citizen of a neutral jurisdiction;
- Transfer of part of the business abroad — with the possibility to register companies and open accounts under the new citizenship;
- Personal mobility, including the ability for emergency departure in case of worsening internal conditions.
For the entrepreneur, second citizenship became not a status symbol but a tool of flexibility, protection, and business resilience. If you want to obtain such a tool — quickly, confidentially, and with all legal nuances considered — take the first step today:
