Saint Lucia Eases Covid-19 Travel Restrictions

The government of Saint Lucia has become the latest Caribbean destination to update its international arrival protocols, creating a “simplified experience for travelers”.

From March 5th, fully vaccinated travelers and in-transit passengers aged five and over can present a negative rapid Covid-19 antigen test or a rapid Covid-19 PCR test taken one day prior to entering Saint Lucia. Travelers may also provide a negative RT-PCR Covid-19 test taken up to five days prior to arrival.

All unvaccinated travelers must present a negative RT-PCR Covid-19 test, taken up to five days prior to entering Saint Lucia. All travelers must register their information and upload test results online prior to travel on the official website.

Rapid antigen tests must be administered by a healthcare provider and self-administered tests and saliva tests are not accepted. UK NHS tests are not valid for travel.

Unvaccinated visitors will have to continue to stay at Covid-certified properties. Returning nationals who are unvaccinated are required to quarantine for a seven-day period.
