Do you need to complete the Saint Lucia immigration form before arrival?

If you’re dreaming of Saint Lucia’s powdery beaches and jade-green Pitons, here’s your pre-punch reality check: Yes, you do need to complete the Saint Lucia Immigration Form before arrival. Skipping it could delay your trip or leave you grounded at the airport.

All travelers must complete the form online before arriving in Saint Lucia. This includes citizens, residents, tourists, business travelers, and cruise passengers. The only exception is for transit passengers who stay in the airport’s international zone and do not pass through immigration.

🛬 Can I fill it out at the airport?

Technically, yes. But logistically, it's not ideal.

“When we arrived at the airport, they had a line for people who completed it electronically. The rest of us had to grab the paper form, find a pen, and sit on the floor after a long day of travel.”

Airports like UVF often have no mobile data or Wi-Fi on arrival. Paper forms can run out quickly. That’s why most travelers apply online before flying and download or print their QR code in advance.

💡 iVisa tip: If you're flying into UVF, don't rely on airport internet. Have your QR code ready before takeoff.

🕒 When should I complete the form?

You can apply up to 72 hours before your flight. It’s best to do it early in case you need to make any corrections. The form is valid for one entry only, so you’ll need to submit a new one each time you travel to Saint Lucia.

🗒️ What do I need to apply?

The application process is fast and simple. You’ll need:

• A valid passport (or OECS national ID)
• Your arrival date and airline
• The address where you’re staying in Saint Lucia
• Your contact details
• A valid card or payment method.

No embassy appointments needed. Just a few minutes online.

Yes. One person can apply for everyone traveling together. You do not have to be related.

“We traveled with our friends and applied as a group. Way easier than filling out individual forms for everyone.”
