About This Visa

Indian ordinary-passport holders need a Saint Lucian non-immigrant visa. The Department of External Affairs country table marks India as YES (poe) — visa at the port of entry is allowed. You can also apply through Immigration (visaoffice@police.govt.lc) at least two weeks before travel.

Fees: EC$125 single entry (valid for travel within a three-month window) or EC$190 multiple entry (one year). Bring the checklist papers; Immigration may still refuse a same-day airport application. Before flying, file the free online Immigration/Customs form on travelslu.govt.lc (up to 72 hours ahead) and keep the email QR / receipt.
