You qualify by making a non-refundable contribution to the National Economic Fund, starting from around USD 240,000 for a single applicant, and passing due diligence.
Saint Lucia's most direct citizenship route is a non-refundable contribution to the National Economic Fund (NEF). For a single applicant this starts from roughly USD 240,000, with due-diligence and government fees on top. As a donation, it is the simplest of Saint Lucia's options and the most popular choice.
The programme suits individuals and families who want a second citizenship with no obligation to live in or visit the country. Every applicant must clear background and source-of-funds checks, and the application is filed through an authorised agent rather than directly with the government.
Saint Lucia is the newest of the Caribbean programmes, and beyond the NEF it offers approved real estate, an enterprise (business) project, and at times a government bond. The passport provides strong visa-free travel, generally including the Schengen Area. Minimums and the status of the bond option change over time, so confirm current figures with the CIP Unit, and ACME can help you pick the right route.
