1. Contribution towards National Economic Fund (NEF)

The St. Lucia Citizenship by Investment Act’s section 33, which established the Economic Diversification Fund (EDF), establishes the National Economic Fund. This fund was only established to lure foreign investment to support public projects and reward it with citizenship.

The following is the amount that NEF will contribute to St. Lucia’s Citizenship by Investing program:

• Single applicant: a $100,000 nonrefundable contribution
• The contribution for the primary applicant and spouse is USD 165,000.
• The contribution for a family of up to four people is USD 190,000.
• The NEF contribution for each extra dependant is USD 25,000.

2. Real Estate Investment

With this option, anyone can become a citizen of Saint Lucia by investing in real estate with a minimum value of $300,000.

The St. Lucian government must accept the investor’s real estate purchase for them to qualify for St. Lucia citizenship through investment. Also, the investor must hold onto the property for five years.

3. Pre-Approved Enterprise Project

A participant in the St. Lucia Citizenship by Investment program is eligible to get St. Lucian citizenship by investing in a project that has been pre-approved and that will result in the creation of at least three jobs. For joint investments, each applicant must contribute at least $1 million, the project as a whole must be worth $6 million, and it must result in the creation of at least 6 permanent jobs.
