One of the hottest citizenship by investment or purchase programs is the St. Lucia second passport. An investment of $500,000 to $550,000 in government bonds, or paying a fee of $100,000 (single), gets you one of the top passports on the market.
Because of the popularity of the government bond program, they’ve made this option more expensive in 2017. Here are the new fees all the changes to the St. Lucia second passport program in 2017.
The new government fees as of January 1, 2017 for the “donation to the Saint Lucia National Economic Fund” citizenship program are as follows. Whenever you see the word “donation,” know it means purchase price.
- Single applicant: $100,000
- Husband and wife: $165,000
- Husband, wife and up to two dependent children: $190,000
- Each additional dependent child: $25,000
These fees don’t include other government charges, such as your background check, or legal fees. If you’re from a top country, like the US, UK, Canada, etc., additional fees are usually around $30,000 for a single applicant. If you’re from a country where a background check is more difficult, such as China or India, expect to pay around $40,000.
