UK Imposes Visas on Saint Lucian Nationals

March 5, 2026·20 days ago·via Soca News

The UK government introduces visa requirements for Saint Lucian nationals, ending previous visa-free access for short stays up to six months. Travelers now face new Electronic Travel Authorizations or visit visas, with a transition period until mid-April 2026 for pre-booked trips. This shift disrupts seamless Caribbean-UK journeys, prompting Saint Lucians to plan ahead with passport validity and proof of funds.
