How much is citizenship in St Lucia?

St Lucia citizenship by donation is a route under the St Lucia CBI program. You will be granted St Lucia citizenship by making a qualifying donation to a national fund. The minimum investment is $100,000 for an individual applicant, $140,000 for a couple, or $150,000 for a family of four.



As of 2026, obtaining citizenship in St. Lucia through the Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program requires a minimum investment starting at $240,000. This baseline applies to a "National Economic Fund" (NEF) donation for a single applicant or a family of up to four members. However, the total cost is higher once you factor in mandatory fees: a $2,000 processing fee, an $8,000 due diligence fee for the main applicant, and a $500 interview fee. If you choose the Real Estate route, the minimum investment is $300,000 in a government-approved project, plus a $30,000 administrative fee. There is also a National Action Bond (NAB) option requiring a $300,000 refundable investment (held for five years) with a $50,000 non-refundable administrative fee. For 2026 applicants, the St. Lucian passport remains highly coveted for its visa-free access to over 145 countries, though the price was recently adjusted upward following a regional agreement to standardize minimum investment levels across the Caribbean.
