About Saint Lucia Citizenship and Residency

Sankt Lucia offers Citizenship through Investment programs. The St. Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program requires applicants to make a significant contribution to the country. In exchange, and subject to a stringent application process and due diligence check, the applicants and their families are granted full citizenship.

Investment options are available to acquire citizenship and a passport of Saint Lucia.

Property registration, processing fees, and taxes must be paid in addition to the property purchase.

  • Government Bond Investment

-The basic amount is $350,000 (not dependent on the number of family members), of which $300,000 is the investment amount.

-A contribution of USD 25,000 will be required for each additional dependent

  • Enterprise Project Investment

Applicants may invest a minimum of $3.5 million in an approved enterprise project and create at least three jobs.

Two applicants may share an investment of $6 million and create six jobs to qualify. Approved enterprise projects must fall under one of the following categories:

  • specialty restaurants
  • cruise ports and marinas
  • agricultural processing plants
  • pharmaceutical products
  • ports
  • bridges
  • roads and highways
  • research institution and facilities or offshore universities

Permanent ophold

Permanent Residence can be applied for after five (5) years of continuous residence in St. Lucia. This period may be significantly reduced in certain circumstances, retirees purchasing property and taking up residence.

The advantage of having this status is that your passport is stamped with the permanent residence stamp, which obviates the application for residence permits every three months, and the inconvenience of time-consuming procedures at the port of entry after an overseas trip. This status does not entitle the permanent resident to work in St. Lucia, a work permit is still required.
