Policy risk

Agencies often omit host-country visa pressure. We publish dated primary-source notes instead.

Price gazettes and accordion ambiguityconfirmed

Saint Lucia publishes prices on the CIP site (accordion UI). One Enterprise accordion line (Option 3 US$250,000) is structurally ambiguous — pass2port marks it verifying and does not assert it as a confirmed route floor.

What does Saint Lucia CBI cost for a family of four?

The NEF donation floor of US$240,000 covers an applicant plus up to three dependants — a family of four (cipsaintlucia.com, checked 2026-07-31). Incremental dependant and add-on tiers stack separately, plus due-diligence and processing fees. Add only lines you can source.

Is Saint Lucia CBI legitimate?

Saint Lucia operates a government Citizenship by Investment programme administered by the CIP (cipsaintlucia.com). Legitimacy of a specific application depends on compliance and due diligence. This page is information, not legal advice.

Can Saint Lucia CBI citizenship be revoked?

Domestic law generally allows revocation for fraud or other disqualifying grounds. pass2port marks the precise statutory revocation text as verifying until cited section-by-section against official Saint Lucia sources.

Donation vs real estate — which is cheaper?

The NEF donation floor is US$240,000; approved real estate is US$300,000 (+ applicable administration fees) and adds a holding period (cipsaintlucia.com, 2026-07-31). pass2port does not recommend a route — compare the official fee schedule.

Can you buy a Saint Lucia passport, or is it "for sale"?

Not directly, and not from pass2port. A passport itself is never for sale — the government programme grants citizenship through the CIP after an application, a mandatory due-diligence review, and a qualifying NEF contribution or real-estate investment; the passport document follows once citizenship is approved. Apply only through an authorised agent listed on cipsaintlucia.com — pass2port does not sell, broker, or facilitate applications.
