Visa Questions

Hello,

We are moving to St. Lucia Feb. 1st.

I am wondering if we will need visas before we arrive.

We have 1 way tickets, valid US passports.... etc.

Everything I am reading says that we need return or through tickets.

How does everyone handle this? Is there a general way/place that people go every few months to renew their visas?

In Thailand we just did visa runs, but I can't seem to find information about this for St. Lucia.

Thank you!

Hi. Unless you being employed by a local company on a long term contract, you will need a return ticket or an onward ticket. You dont need visas , but after 60 days you have to go to the immigration office in Castries and register, you need a letter of agreement showing you are long term renting, and some form of proof off monies, in a bank etc so they can see you can support yourself, you will be charged $200ec / month each for every month you stay, you can , with a bit of haggling pay for 3 months in advance to save the trip into the office. Immigration are going to make this process cheaper and easier, but they dont know when. Trust this helps a bit.

Hi. There are dozens of families in and around your area, if you go to the Marina on a friday night you'll meet loads of expat families and the same goes for Rodney bay.
Wishing you a great Christmas and a Happy New Yr
