Saint Lucia grants citizenship to qualifying investors under a law governed framework. It is open to applicants of any nationality, including citizens of Brazil. This page explains the routes, the indicative thresholds and where to confirm the current rules.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Saint Lucia does not select by nationality, so Brazilian citizens are eligible to apply. Every applicant must be over 18, hold a clean criminal record and pass due diligence carried out by the unit.
Family members can usually be included, with extra contributions per dependant. Confirm the documents, the due diligence fees and any health requirements with the official authority before you commit funds.
Published options have included a non refundable contribution to the National Economic Fund, an approved real estate purchase, a government bond and an enterprise project investment. The contribution route is the most straightforward, while the others involve holding an asset for a set period.
Each route carries its own minimum, plus due diligence and processing fees. Check which one fits your plans with the authority, since amounts can change.
Processing is often quoted at around three months from a complete filing, but timing depends on due diligence. Confirm the current expected timeline with the official authority.
Contribution levels, asset minimums and fees are set by the authority and can change. The figures below are indicative only and should be verified before you act.
