Notice to Travellers to Saint Lucia
Castries, November 20th, 2021 – The Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Health & Wellness
and the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA) wish to inform the public that all travellers
must apply to enter Saint Lucia on the Saint Lucia Travel Authorisation Portal that
functions via www.stlucia.org. Last weekend, there were technical difficulties with the
system, and consequently, a waiver on the requirement of a travel authorization letter was
issued for a limited period. However, as of the 23rd November 2021, all travellers were
required to comply with the complete application process.
The Authorities thus wish to advise travellers and the general public that the following entry
requirements are MANDATORY FOR ALL ARRIVALS:
“All travellers 18 years and older must complete and submit an online travel registration form
to receive a Travel Authorization Letter. This can be achieved via the Saint Lucia Travel
Authorization Portal at www.stlucia.org/covid-19.
All travellers five (5) years and over must take a COVID PCR test 5 days or less before arrival
in Saint Lucia and submit the negative results to the travel registration portal for review and
approval. The test must be based on a nasopharyngeal swab. Saliva samples are not accepted.
The Travel Authorization Letter must be presented to the airline or ferry service on check-in.
Failure to produce this letter may result in denied boarding of your flight or ferry.”
Travellers are urged to visit the website to familiarize themselves with the travel protocols
and travel registration process, and to submit the application and documents at the
stipulated times to avoid delay in receiving the Travel Authorization Letter. The Authorities
are committed to ensuring that all travellers are processed according to the protocols
ensuring a high level of customer service and a warm welcome to Saint Lucia.
