Quarantine requirements have also been removed for vaccinated returning nationals.
All visitors to Saint Lucia are able to stay at a range of “Covid-certified” accommodations and vaccinated visitors can now split their time on the island between more than two.
To be considered fully vaccinated, travellers must have had the second dose of a two-dose Covid vaccine or a one-dose vaccine at least 14 days prior to travel and must indicate their vaccination status when completing their pre-arrival entry form alongside uploading proof of vaccination.
Visitors must travel with their vaccination card or documentation. For British visitors, vaccination proof on the NHS app or an NHS letter will be accepted. NHS vaccine appointment cards should not be used.
Upon arrival in Saint Lucia, pre-registered fully vaccinated visitors will be expedited via a dedicated health screening line and provided with an identification wristband, which must be worn for the duration of their stay.
Non-vaccinated travellers will continue to stay at up to two certified properties for the first 14 days and non-vaccinated returning nationals will be required to apply for quarantine for the same period.
Regardless of vaccination status, no changes have been made to Saint Lucia’s pre-arrival protocols – which include a negative PCR test result taken no more than five days before arrival.
Saint Lucian prime minister, Allen Chastanet, said the country’s “commitment to safely and responsibly co-existing with Covid remains strong”.
“While all visitors to Saint Lucia can currently experience a wonderful holiday as well as approved tours and attractions, fully vaccinated travellers are now invited to explore the entire destination at their leisure, while following our protocols.
“We’ve successfully and safely managed tourism since reopening our borders in June 2020, with no need to close because of our protocols and the bubble we created for our visitors and frontline tourism workers.
“We are delighted to be able to expand the opportunities for vaccinated visitors and ease the restrictions for returning nationals. Vaccinated visitors can now truly holiday like a local.”
