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.
We found no rule that excludes Vietnamese nationals from the St Lucia programme. Applicants must be at least 18, hold a clean criminal record, be in good health and pass due diligence, with a lawful source of funds.
Confirm your personal eligibility and the current document set with the Citizenship by Investment Unit before you commit.
St Lucia has offered a donation to the National Economic Fund, an investment in approved real estate, the purchase of government bonds, and an enterprise investment. Each route has its own amount and conditions.
Minimum amounts in the Caribbean programmes have been revised in recent years, so verify the current figure for your chosen route with the official authority rather than relying on older guides.
Processing time depends on due diligence and a complete file. Confirm the current expected timeline with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
Beyond the qualifying contribution or investment there are due diligence and processing fees that vary by family size. Confirm each figure with the official authority before you budget.
