UK Imposes Visa on St Lucia Nationals

The UK imposes a new visa requirement on St Lucia nationals, ending their previous visa-free access to Britain. This change, effective immediately with a transition period until mid-April 2026, stems from concerns over asylum claims by St Lucians. St Lucia's government responds firmly, vowing a diplomatic fight to restore privileges. Travelers face disruptions, but those with pre-booked trips before March 5 may still enter using a valid ETA.
