Fully vaccinated arrivals to Saint Lucia will be able to take an antigen test instead of a PCR test to gain entry from Saturday (5 March). 

The new campaign will feature discounts for accommodation and activities in Saint Lucia for those returning to visit

The tests must be carried out by a healthcare provider within 24 hours of arrival to Saint Lucia and self-administered tests will not be accepted.

Unvaccinated travellers are still required to present proof of a negative PCR test taken up to five days prior to entering Saint Lucia and must stay in Covid-certified properties.

All travellers must register their information and upload test results online prior to travel.

Chief executive of the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority, Lorine Charles-St. Jules, said the Caribbean island has "continuously" evaluated its Covid-19 travel protocols.
