Saint Lucia runs a citizenship by investment programme overseen by its Citizenship by Investment Unit. Turkish nationals are not on the published list of restricted countries and can apply on the standard basis. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
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.
Turkish nationals are eligible. The published restrictions focus on a short list of countries, currently reported as Russia, Belarus and Iran, with conditional treatment for a few others. Turkey is not on that list, so Turkish citizens apply on the same terms as most other applicants. Confirm the live restricted country list with the Citizenship by Investment Unit before you start.
All applicants must pass due diligence, hold a clean record and be at least 18. Approval rests on source of funds and background checks, not on nationality.
Saint Lucia offers several qualifying options. The most common is a contribution to the National Economic Fund. Other routes include an approved real estate project, a government bond and an enterprise project. Confirm the live list of approved routes and any holding periods with the Citizenship by Investment Unit before committing any money.
Processing usually runs a few months from a complete application, though times vary with volume and due diligence. Saint Lucia does not require you to live in or visit the country to qualify. Confirm current processing times with the official authority.
The figures below are indicative entry points for a single applicant. Family pricing differs. Treat these as a starting point only and confirm the current amounts and fees with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
