Saint Lucia’s Family-Friendly CBI Structure: One Application, Benefits for All

Saint Lucia’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme stands out not only for its affordability and transparency, but also for its inclusive approach towards families. For global investors seeking second citizenship that benefits not just the individual, but the entire family unit, Saint Lucia offers a highly structured and efficient pathway.

A Unified Application Process

One of the most appealing aspects of Saint Lucia’s CBI programme is that it allows eligible family members to be included under a single application. This significantly reduces administrative burden and streamlines the path to citizenship for spouses, children, and in some cases, even parents and siblings.

Who Can Be Included?

The main applicant can include a wide range of dependants in the application, such as:

  • Spouse
  • Children under the age of 21
  • Dependent children aged 21 to 30 if they are fully supported by the applicant
  • Parents over the age of 55 who are living with and fully supported by the applicant
  • Siblings under the age of 18, if given consent by a parent or guardian

Investment Options for Families

Families applying under the programme can choose from several structured and transparent investment routes:

  • National Economic Fund (Non-refundable Donation):

    A minimum contribution of USD 240,000 covers the main applicant and up to three dependents. Additional dependents cost USD 10,000 each (under age 18) and USD 20,000 each (over 18).

  • Real Estate Investment:

    Requires an investment of at least USD 300,000 in government‑approved property, which must be held for a minimum of five years.

  • Government Bonds:

    A non‑interest‑bearing bond investment of USD 300,000, held for a minimum of five years, with capital refundable upon maturity.

Saint Lucia provides the perfect blend of security, opportunity, and simplicity.
