No visa required for entry to Saint Lucia. Stays of up to 6 months are permitted under the visa-waiver agreement.
If you qualify as a CARICOM Skilled National under one of the 15 approved categories, you can enter for an initial 6-month period with the right to work, with the stay becoming indefinite once immigration verifies your Certificate of Recognition of Caribbean Community Skills Qualification. The 15 categories are: University Graduates, Artistes, Musicians, Media Workers, Sportspersons, Nurses, Teachers, Artisans (CVQ Level II+), Holders of Associate Degrees, Domestic Workers, Agricultural Workers, Beauty Service Practitioners, Barbers, Private Security Officers, Aviation Personnel. If you hold a Skills Certificate, carry it (and any supporting qualification documents). Apply for the certificate in advance through the relevant ministry in your destination state if you don't have one yet.
