Eligibility for Bangladeshi nationals

Saint Lucia restricts applications from a small number of nationalities, currently nationals of Russia, Belarus, Iran and Ukraine. Bangladesh is not on that restricted list.

Bangladeshi nationals can therefore generally apply, provided they are over 18, have a clean record and can show a lawful source of funds. Confirm your personal position with the official authority.

Routes

Saint Lucia offers several routes, including a donation to the National Economic Fund, a refundable National Action Bond, an approved real estate investment, and an enterprise investment. Each route has its own minimum and conditions, so confirm the current figure for the route you choose.

Timeline

The Citizenship by Investment Unit processes applications after due diligence. Times vary with file quality and checks, so treat any quoted timeline as indicative and confirm with the authority.

Indicative costs

The table below sets out the main figures. Government and due diligence fees sit on top of the investment and vary by family size.
