Saint Lucian citizenship via a USD 3.5M+ investment in a government-approved enterprise project that creates 3 or more permanent jobs.
Saint Lucia's Enterprise Project route grants citizenship for direct capital deployment into government-approved ventures, established under the Citizenship by Investment Act No. 14 of 2015. Sole investors commit at least USD 3,500,000 and create 3 permanent jobs; joint-venture applicants pool USD 6,000,000 (each contributing USD 1,000,000) and create 6 permanent jobs.
Approved sectors span specialty restaurants, cruise ports, agro-processing, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure, research facilities, and housing projects. Beyond the investment, applicants pay a non-refundable USD 50,000 administration fee plus USD 2,000 processing and USD 8,000 due-diligence fees per main applicant.
This visa is ideal for high-net-worth entrepreneurs ready to actively build a Saint Lucian enterprise, not passive investors. The ~90-day processing target rewards those with documented funds and a credible, vetted project plan.
