Saint Lucia entry stamp

Visitors to Saint Lucia must obtain a visa unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries or countries that can obtain a visa on arrival.

Cruise ship passengers visiting Saint Lucia for one day are exempted from obtaining visas.

Saint Lucia signed a mutual visa-waiver agreement with the  European Union on 28 May 2015 with immediate effect on provisional basis and which was ratified on 15 December 2015.[1][2] This agreement allows all citizens of states that are contracting parties to the Schengen Agreement to stay without a visa for a maximum period of 90 days in any 180-day period.[3]

Nationals of OECS countries and France can enter with a national ID card instead of a passport.
