Saint Lucia Beach Holidays

You can visit St Lucia without needing a visa.

Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay.

You will be allowed to stay for a maximum period of 6 weeks on entry.

You must fill in an online immigration form no more than 3 days before you arrive.

Make sure a border control officer stamps your passport on arrival.

To enter St Lucia, you must have a certificate to prove you've had a yellow fever vaccination if you're coming from a country listed as a transmission risk.

There are strict rules about goods you can take into or out of St Lucia and you must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

Only use licensed taxis and agree the fare in local currency with the driver before you set off.

Do not dress in camouflage clothing as it is illegal for anyone, including children.

Avoid displaying jewellery or valuable items and do not carry large amounts of cash.

Leave valuables and travel documents in your hotel safe or a safety deposit box.

Take care when walking alone off main roads and avoid isolated areas, including beaches, after dark.

Currents can be deceptively strong on beaches, so monitor them carefully and obey any local warnings.

If you plan to drive, you will need to get a temporary driving permit, and some hire car companies can obtain this for you.
