• Eligible via LC-INV-03 if conditions of Citizenship by Investment Act No. 14 of 2015 (Cap 1.20) s.2 'qualifying dependant' (substituted by Act No. 22 of 2025 s.3) are met.

  CURRENT 'qualifying dependant' definition (Act No. 22 of 2025 s.3, effective 10 Nov 2025): (a)(i) spouse; (ii) child of applicant or spouse aged 21 or below; (iii) child no more than 30 years and fully supported; (iv) parent of applicant or spouse above 55 and fully supported; (v) unmarried sister or brother of the applicant below 18 with parental/guardian consent; (b) an individual of any age physically or mentally challenged and fully supported. The sibling-under-18 class is a 2025 Saint Lucia statutory addition (the original CBI Act 14/2015 s.2 had NO sibling class — child <18, child ≤25 in full-time higher study, disabled child any age, parent >65, disabled parent any age). Per-dependant pricing add-ons attach to each INV route (see INV-01/02/05).

• Eligible: turns on the investment threshold + dependent rules; see route doc + TRC.

  Model LC-INV-03 as the CBI dependants framework controlled by CBI Act, Cap. 1.20, s.2 'qualifying dependant' as substituted by Act 22/2025 s.3 (operative 10 Nov 2025), stating the six enumerated classes verbatim with their exact age/condition gates: spouse; child 21-or-below (unconditional, of applicant or spouse); child up-to-30 if fully supported; parent above-55 if fully supported (of applicant or spouse, no cohabitation requirement); unmarried sibling-of-the-applicant below-18 with parental/guardian consent; any-age physically/mentally-challenged individual if fully supported.

• Eligible to include the sibling via LC-INV-03: the Act 22/2025 'qualifying dependant' definition adds an unmarried sibling under 18 with parental/guardian consent.

  The CURRENT 'qualifying dependant' definition (Act 22/2025 s.3, effective 10 November 2025) adds class (a)(v): an unmarried sister or brother of the applicant below 18 years of age who has received the consent of his or her parent or guardian to make an application for citizenship by investment (LC-ASSERT-089). An unmarried 16-year-old sibling with parental/guardian consent therefore qualifies as a dependant. This sibling-under-18 class is a 2025 Saint Lucian statutory addition — the original CBI Act 14/2015 s.2 had NO sibling class (LC-ASSERT-090). As of 10 November 2025.

• Eligible to include the adult child via LC-INV-03: a child no more than 30 years and fully supported qualifies (Act 22/2025).

  Under the current 'qualifying dependant' definition (Act 22/2025 s.3), a child of the applicant or spouse no more than 30 years of age and fully supported by the applicant qualifies (class (a)(iii)), alongside a child aged 21 or below (unconditional, class (a)(ii)) (LC-ASSERT-089). A 28-year-old child who is fully supported therefore qualifies under the up-to-30 limb. (This is broader than the original 2015 definition, which capped non-disabled adult children at ≤25 in full-time higher study — LC-ASSERT-090.) As of 10 November 2025.

• Eligible to include the parent via LC-INV-03: a parent above 55 and fully supported qualifies (Act 22/2025).

  Under the current definition (Act 22/2025 s.3), a parent of the applicant or spouse above 55 years of age and fully supported by the applicant qualifies as a dependant (class (a)(iv)) — there is no cohabitation requirement (LC-ASSERT-089). A 60-year-old fully-supported parent therefore qualifies. This is a lowered age threshold and a relaxed condition versus the original 2015 definition (parent >65 habitually living with and fully supported; LC-ASSERT-090). As of 10 November 2025.

• Eligible to include via LC-INV-03: an individual of ANY age who is physically/mentally challenged and fully supported qualifies (Act 22/2025 limb (b)).

  The current definition (Act 22/2025 s.3) limb (b) includes 'an individual of any age who is physically or mentally challenged and fully supported by the applicant' (LC-ASSERT-089). A 45-year-old physically challenged and fully-supported person therefore qualifies regardless of age, even though the unmarried-sibling class (a)(v) is age-capped at under 18 — the disabled-dependant limb (b) overrides the age cap where the disability and full-support conditions are met. As of 10 November 2025.
