For an approved real estate investment, the main applicant must invest a minimum of $1,080,000. Investment in the National Development Fund or in an approved business
must be at least $675,000, and $4,000,000 respectively. See “Citizenship” for up-to-date investment requirements at https://cip.gov.ag/citizenship/.
58
The minimum varies depending on whether or not more than one person is applying for citizenship. For example, if only one individual is investing then the minimum
monetary investment is $100,000; if an applicant plus her/his spouse is investing, then the minimum is $175,000, etc. If someone invests in an approved project, the minimum
necessary is $200,000.

As in Dominica, the amount invested (in this case, into the National Transformation Fund) depends on the number of people on the application for CBI. A single applicant
must invest $150,000 while an applicant and his/her spouse must invest a minimum of $200,000, etc.
60
The main applicant must invest a minimum of $165,000 in the Sustainable Growth Fund. As in the other countries, the fees are higher with each additional dependent
added to the application.
61
The main applicant must invest at least $100,000 in the St. Lucia National Economic Fund (this figure increases as the number of dependents are added to the application)
or a minimum of $300,000 in real estate.
