Saint Lucia Drops Entry Test For Vaccinated Travellers

Saint Lucia Drops Entry Test For Vaccinated Travellers

The Government of Saint Lucia has officially removed all pre-entry COVID-19 testing requirements for fully vaccinated travellers entering the country. Based on the updated protocols, fully vaccinated travellers are not required to take a pre-travel COVID-19 test or quarantine. Vaccinated travellers must provide a valid vaccination record as requested on check-in, boarding, and entry to Saint Lucia. To qualify as fully vaccinated, travellers must have had the last dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine or a one-dose vaccine at least two weeks (14 days) before travel.

Unvaccinated travellers five years and older must have a valid negative standard COVID-19 PCR test five days before arrival. An unsupervised self-swab antigen or PCR test is not accepted.

Passengers arriving without tests or with the wrong type of test will be retested on arrival at their own cost and will be required to remain in quarantine until the test result is known.

In addition, travellers no longer are required to pre-register online prior to arrival in Saint Lucia. International travellers and returning nationals must complete a Health Screening Form before disembarkation in Saint Lucia for ease of processing on arrival.

Saint Lucia says more than 90% of arriving visitors to Saint Lucia are fully vaccinated.

As of April 5, the requirement for registration and document upload (PCR tests and vaccine card) on the Saint Lucia portal has been suspended until further notice.
