- USD 240,000 for a principal applicant and up to three qualifying dependants
- USD 10,000 for each additional dependant below 18
- USD 20,000 for each additional dependant aged 18 or above
Due-diligence, processing, interview, passport and professional fees apply in addition to the contribution.
These figures are listed by the official Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Programme. Saint Lucia National Economic Fund
