Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP)

There are three main investment routes that applicants can apply through. The first is by contributing

(donation requirements : a minimum donation of $100,000 plus fees) to Saint Lucia’s National Development Fund. The second option is by investing in government approved real estate projects, from $200,000. The third route, is a five-year investment in Government Bonds. See below for more details on each route.

Minimum Stay Requirements

One of the many attractions of gaining second citizenship in Saint Lucia is that the Citizenship by Investment programme does not have any minimum stay requirements. Citizens of St Lucia have the right to live, work or study in St Lucia, if they wish to, but this is not a pre-requisite of the programme. There is also no interview or language test required.

Citizens of Saint Lucia may travel visa-free to the European Union, Hong Kong, and the U.K. Government processing times are approximately 4 months, and the program offers both cash and real estate investment options. Iranians citizens are no longer able to apply (regardless of their current country of residence), due to problems conducting due diligence checks, and banking restrictions.
