New changes to St Lucia Citizenship by Investment program

St Lucia is one of the most attractive investment programs in the Caribbean. It has been made even more attractive now with the new changes that have been introduced by the government.

Qualifying dependants

Apart from those family members that qualify as dependants at the date of application, there are also ‘future’ dependants that count.

A spouse or a child of the main applicant can apply for their St Lucian passport after the application has been submitted by the latter if the marriage or birth took place after the submission. However, their applications will only be accepted within the first 5 years after the main applicant has been naturalised.

Fund contribution

The required investment for the single applicant is unchanged $100,000, one of the lowest in the Caribbean. However, we see a significant reduction in the amount of contribution that must be made for a qualifying spouse. It has been cut down from $65,000 to $35,000. Other dependants would still cost you $25,000.
