March 5, 2026·about 1 hour ago·via The St Kitts Nevis Observer

The UK introduces an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) requirement for Saint Lucian nationals effective March 5, 2026, replacing visa-free access for visits under six months. Saint Lucians now need an online ETA costing $34.50, valid for multiple entries up to 180 days over two years, to board flights to the UK. A transition period runs until April 16, 2026, allowing pre-booked travel with valid ETAs without a full visit visa.
