Saint Lucia visa for Swiss citizens

What it means in practice

90 days is about three months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 January 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

How Saint Lucia counts your stay: The permitted stay is stamped on entry, usually up to 6 weeks. Overstaying or working without a work permit is illegal.

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

• Passport valid beyond your planned departure date (some nationalities, e.g. Canadians, need 3 months beyond departure)
• QR code from the electronic immigration form
• Return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds may be requested
• Make sure the officer stamps your passport; the stamp shows your permitted stay
• Children travelling alone or with one parent may need a notarised consent letter and a birth certificate
• Yellow fever certificate if arriving from a country with yellow fever risk
• Declare goods that may be prohibited or subject to duty

How to avoid overstaying

• Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
• Plan to leave a day or two early. With 90 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
• Extend before you run out. Apply in person at the Immigration Department in Castries before your stamped stay ends.
• What overstaying costs. Overstaying or working without a work permit is illegal.
