Popular travel destinations with a St Lucia passport
A St Lucia passport opens visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to a significant number of destinations worldwide, including the Schengen Area and some Asian business centres.
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 issued for a 5-year period. The procedure for replacing it is easier than applying for a Schengen visa.
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.
Hong Kong is also available visa-free, but for 90 days.

- apply for a 10-year US Visitor visa to the United States at any American consulate;
- qualify for benefits at UK universities;
- get tax incentives in St Lucia;

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:
- non-refundable contribution of $240,000+ to a state fund;
- purchase of government-approved real estate for at least $300,000;
- non-interest government bonds worth $300,000;
- infrastructure and business investments of at least $250,000.
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.
