Apart from removing the requirement for a minimum net worth of US$3 million, the government has also waived the annual cap of 500 applicants per year. Another notable easing of the process comes from the removal of the obligation of applicants to take their Oath of Allegiance in person in the respective office in Saint Lucia or before a Saint Lucian Embassy, High Commissioner or Consulate. Instead, applicants can now provide a declaration sworn with an attorney at law, notary royal, notary public, Consular Officer of Saint Lucia or Honorary Consul of Saint Lucia.
