Постоянное место жительства

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.
