Can I go? Entry and visas
From GOV.UK, for United Kingdom passports, updated 10 December 2025:
You can visit St Lucia without a visa.
On entry, you’ll be allowed to stay for a maximum period of 6 weeks.
To stay longer (to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons), you must meet the St Lucian government’s entry requirements. You’ll need to go to the Immigration Department in Castries to apply to extend your stay.
It’s illegal to overstay the entry period or to work without a work permit.
Passport validity
If you’re visiting St Lucia, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ after the day you plan to leave.
Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
Make sure you get your passport stamped.
Make sure the border control officer puts a stamp in your passport. Border guards will use passport stamps to check you have not stayed longer than you’re allowed.
