St Lucia's Citizenship Program Sets Records as UK Visa-Free Access Ends

St Lucia’s Citizenship by Investment Programme logged a record 5,642 applications and an EC$89.9 million surplus. But passport holders lost UK visa-free entry as of March 5, 2026, and all applicants aged 16 and older now face mandatory interviews.

What this means for you: if UK travel drove your interest in the passport, reassess; the mobility calculus has shifted and a UK visa is now required.
