Who counts as a dependent under the Saint Lucia NEF option?

Saint Lucia lets the main applicant add qualifying dependents to the NEF application. Eligible family members generally include a spouse, dependent children under the age of 30, dependent parents and grandparents aged over 55, and unmarried siblings under 18.

The base US$240,000 covers the applicant plus up to three dependents; beyond that, each extra dependent adds US$10,000 (under 18) or US$20,000 (18 or over). Some categories must show genuine dependency, and the rules can be updated, so confirm current criteria with a licensed agent.
