Bayraktar Attorneys advises foreign investors and their families on the Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Programme. We help you choose the right route, prepare your file through an authorized agent, and manage the application from start to finish, all in English.
The program was created under the Citizenship by Investment Act No. 14 of 2015 and its regulations. You do not need to live in Saint Lucia, and you keep your current citizenship. Amounts and rules are set by the government and can change; we confirm the current requirements in your consultation.
Talk to an English-speaking lawyer about your options today. The first consultation is free and there is no obligation.
Saint Lucia applications must be filed through an authorized agent, with documents prepared to a strict standard. We handle the process end to end, so you can focus on your investment decision rather than the paperwork.
Our support includes:
Saint Lucia offers more routes than most Caribbean programs, which gives you flexibility. These amounts and rules are set by the government and can change; we confirm the current figures in your consultation.
A non-refundable contribution to the country's development fund. This is the simplest and most direct route, currently from around USD 240,000 for a single applicant, with higher amounts where family members are added.
Investment in a government-approved real estate project, such as a hotel or resort development, currently from around USD 300,000. The property is usually held for a set period before it can be sold.
A capital investment in an approved enterprise project that supports jobs and innovation in Saint Lucia. This route suits investors who want to back a specific business venture.
Investment in non-interest-bearing government bonds (a National Action Bond), held for a fixed term. This route emphasises capital preservation over a contribution.
Saint Lucian citizenship gives you and your family real flexibility. The main advantages are:
To qualify, the main applicant must be at least 18 years old, make the required investment, and pass due diligence. In general you will need:
Qualifying dependants can include a spouse, children, parents and siblings, subject to age and support conditions. Due diligence applies to the main applicant and to dependants over the age of 16.
From acceptance of a complete application, citizenship is commonly granted in around 90 days, though this can vary. Saint Lucia allows dual citizenship, so you do not give up your current nationality. If you are weighing your options, we also advise on Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship and Grenada citizenship.
We review your goals and family situation, confirm your eligibility, recommend a route, and set out costs and timing.
We collect, translate and apostille your passports, certificates, financial records and source-of-funds evidence.
Through an authorized agent, we submit your complete file and pay the application and due diligence fees.
Independent background checks are carried out. On success, the government issues its approval.
You complete the chosen investment, and we collect your citizenship certificate and passport.
We work with international clients daily, entirely in English, and keep the process clear.
We manage everything from eligibility to passport, without you needing to travel.
With four routes available, we recommend the one that genuinely fits your goals, not a fixed package.
We advise across Caribbean and other residency and citizenship options so you can compare.
