02 / Why Saint Lucia
More possibilities.
Your own perspective.
No relocation required
No residency or physical-presence requirement under the programme, allowing you to maintain your existing home and lifestyle.
Dual citizenship
Saint Lucia recognises dual citizenship, allowing you to retain your existing nationality where permitted by your home country’s laws.
Citizenship for generations
Citizenship for life, with transmission to future generations subject to applicable nationality laws.
No language or education requirements
No language test, educational qualification or investment-performance requirement for the donation route.
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.
Who can be included?
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.
