RIF Trust on St Lucia’s Passport Rank
When it comes to Caribbean Citizenship by Investment, one of the world’s leading authorities is our very own Leila Bagheri. A major topic HNWIs want to discuss with her is St Lucia passport visa-free countries.
RIF Trust’s Caribbean specialist says every potential client’s first port of call should be our Passport Index, an accurate measure of the power of travel documents as ““the passport rank combines the number of visa-free, visa-on-arrival, and eVisa countries.””
“As a case in point, let’s address the St Lucia Passport Ranking. There is more than one way to interpret St Lucia passport visa-free countries. The aforementioned passport rank is one way and the second visa-free destinations and nothing else. St Lucia’s standing of providing the world’s 21st strongest travel document justifies consideration of the St Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program.”
Leila winds up: “In this article, you will find a detailed St Lucia passport guide, discovering the destinations you can travel to without a visa, the countries requiring a visa on arrival, those requesting an eVisa, and destinations stipulating that you apply for a visa ahead of your visit.”

Residency and Citizenship by Investment Second Passport Alternatives Part 1
Of course the 159 St Lucia passport visa-free countries will assist your business and leisure travel planning. However there are other passports available through Residency and Citizenship by Investment. You will need to consider the prices of programs, processing times, and the length of naturalization period.
An unquestionable advantage of St Lucia Citizenship by Investment is that it’s a path to direct citizenship. Following 6-12 months of processing, you become a national of this Eastern Caribbean island and eligible for its passport. As we have already discovered, St Lucia passport visa-free countries include those in the EU Schengen Area, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
Yet there are stronger Caribbean passports accessible to investors such as the 20th-placed Grenada passport (160/199) available through Grenada Citizenship by Investment. Elsewhere, a minimum $230,000 investment in Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment entitles you to the 19th-positioned Antigua and Barbuda passport (161/199). Meanwhile, the lowest option for St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment is $250,000, enabling you to qualify for a St Kitts and Nevis passport (166/199) in 16th spot.
€600,000 is the least you can invest to obtain the 8th-placed Maltese passport (176/199) through Maltese Exceptional Investor Naturalization (MEIN). The 7th most powerful travel document, the Canadian passport (177/199) is yours following 5 years naturalizing after investing in the C$275,000 Canada Start-up Visa.
RCBI Second Passport Alternatives Part 2
In equal 6th are the UK passport and the US passport (178/199). There’s a naturalization period of 5 years with the £200,000 UK Innovator Founder Visa. The countdown to citizenship is identical if you invest in the $800,000 US EB-5 Investor Visa.
2 travel documents in 3rd place are the Greek passport and the Portuguese passport, facilitating entry to 181 visa-free countries. The €250,000 Greek Golden Visa can see you acquire Greek nationality through a 7-year naturalization period while it’s a mere 5 years from applying for the €325,000 Portuguese Golden Visa before you’re considered a Portuguese citizen.
The number one passport in our Index is the Spanish passport, as it guarantees visa-free travel to 183 destinations. You can become a Spanish citizen in 10 years (or only 2 if you’re from Latin America or the Philippines). Be quick though as the ultimate day to apply for the €350,000 Spanish Golden Visa is Wednesday, April 2, 2025 as the government will shut down the program the very next day.
Moving Towards a Second Passport in 2025
St Lucia Citizenship by Investment is a popular Caribbean program. Yet you cannot apply for this second citizenship independently and must go through a trusted intermediary like RIF Trust. So, contact us now and we’ll show you how to make an investment in your future today without any further delay.
