Popular travel destinations with a St Lucia passport
The Schengen Area. St Lucia citizens can spend 90 days out of 180 days in the Schengen countries. The term is the same as a Schengen visa, but St Lucia citizenship is obtained for life.
The St Lucia passport is first issued for a 5-year period and then for 10-year periods. The procedure for replacing it is easier than applying for a Schengen visa.
The United Kingdom. St Lucia is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, which means its citizens can visit the UK and stay there for up to 180 days. On leaving the UK, they can immediately re-enter and start a new 180-day period.
Asia. St Lucia passport holders can visit Singapore, one of the the main centres of business and cultural life in Asia, visa-free. They can stay there for 30 days.

The cost of participation in the St Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program depends on the applicant’s specific situation: the family’s composition and the investment option chosen.
St Lucia offers investors the following options leading to the country’s citizenship:
a non-refundable contribution of $100,000+ to a state fund;
purchase of government-approved real estate for at least $200,000;
non-interest government bonds worth $300,000;
business investments of at least $1,000,000.
The investor has the right to sell the property or redeem the bonds after 5 years after obtaining citizenship. Therefore, the invested money under those options could be returned without losing the passport.
