01 / The destination
An island to discover.
A future to consider.
Set in the Eastern Caribbean, Saint Lucia brings together the dramatic Pitons, sheltered bays and a distinctive island culture. Its citizenship by investment programme offers eligible applicants a route to citizenship through a qualifying investment.

A considered choice
Compare contribution, property, enterprise and bond options in the context of your objectives and financial commitments.
03 / Eligibility
Start with the right questions.
Your circumstances shape your application. EPMC helps you understand the requirements and prepare for a formal assessment.
The principal applicant
A clear background.
A documented investment.
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Meet the qualifying investment requirements.
- Provide a clear, documented source of funds.
- Complete background checks and disclose all relevant information.
- Provide the required health and identity records.
Eligibility is assessed individually. An investment alone does not guarantee citizenship.

A spouse and qualifying children, parents or siblings may be considered. Age, dependency, support and consent conditions vary by relationship.
EPMC will review your family circumstances before confirming the proposed application structure.
What does due diligence involve?
Identity, background and source-of-funds checks are central to the process. Relevant applicants must also complete the required interview and provide supporting evidence.
Who submits the application?
Applications must be submitted through a licensed Authorised Agent. EPMC’s advisory role and the submitting agent’s responsibilities should be established at engagement.

08 / Your questions
A little more clarity.
Is the minimum investment the full cost?
No. The route minimum excludes applicable government, due diligence, processing, professional and third-party fees. Request a breakdown based on your family and preferred route.
Can my family apply with me?
Qualifying dependants may be included. Eligibility depends on the relationship, age and support requirements. EPMC will review your family structure before advising on inclusion.
How long will the process take?
Timing varies with the completeness of your documents, background checks and the authorities’ workload. Your adviser can discuss an indicative timeline after reviewing your circumstances.
Will citizenship change my tax position?
Citizenship and tax residence are different matters. Your tax position depends on your circumstances and the jurisdictions involved. Obtain individual tax advice before making decisions.
Which countries could I visit?
Entry rules change and depend on the destination, passport and purpose of travel. Confirm current official entry requirements for each trip; citizenship does not guarantee unrestricted travel.
Can I apply directly to the government?
The programme requires submission through a licensed Authorised Agent. Confirm the agent handling submission and the scope of EPMC’s advisory support at the start of your engagement.
