What is St Lucia Citizenship?

The St. Lucia Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Program offers foreign investors the opportunity to obtain citizenship by making a financial contribution to the country’s economy.

With a minimum investment of $240,000, applicants can choose from five options: a donation to a national fund, purchasing government bonds or real estate, or investing in business and infrastructure projects.

Investors can recover their funds within five years by redeeming bonds or selling real estate shares.

The process is straightforward, with no residency requirements, language tests, or prior residence permits needed.

Eligible family members, including spouses, children, parents, and siblings, can also obtain citizenship under the program.

Established in 2015, the program operates under the Citizenship by Investment Act and its subsequent amendments.

Why Do Applicants Need a Licensed Agent?

St. Lucia’s citizenship-by-investment program requires investors to apply through an authorized agent, as direct applications are not permitted by law. Licensed agents act as intermediaries, guiding applicants through every step of the process, ensuring compliance with program regulations, and handling necessary documentation.

Working with a trusted and experienced agent simplifies the application, reduces errors, and increases the chances of a successful outcome.
