How long do I have to keep my investment untouched in St Lucia’s government bond option for citizenship?

I'm considering applying for St Lucia citizenship and prefer the government bonds option even though it's more expensive because I'd rather not lose the money entirely. My question is, can I take some of the money out of the bonds within a year or two to purchase something in St Lucia, or invest in a business, or do I have to keep the whole sum for five years?

You are required to hold the bond for 5 years, no interest. Unfortunately, you are unable to withdraw any money out of the bond within the 5 year period no matter whether you may wish to purchase property or invest locally.
