Saint Lucia Electronic Immigration Form FAQs: Everything you need to know before you travel

Are you planning a trip to Saint Lucia? Before you pack your bags, here is everything you need to know about the Saint Lucia Electronic Immigration Form, your golden ticket for a smooth arrival.

The form collects essential details such as your personal information, travel dates, flight or cruise details, accommodation address, and health or customs declarations.

Filling it out correctly means a smoother, faster experience at immigration when you land.

• All international visitors, including tourists, business travelers, and cruise passengers

What happens after I submit the Saint Lucia Electronic Immigration Form?

Once you send us your details and documents, we process your application and submit it to the government.

When your application is approved, you will receive a QR code by email. This QR code must be presented alongside your travel document (passport or ID) to immigration officials on arrival.

📱 Can I fill out the Saint Lucia Electronic Immigration Form on my phone after landing?

Technically, yes, but it’s not ideal. Reliable cell service isn’t available at the UVF airport, and public Wi-Fi can be spotty.

While the official government site often struggles on mobile, the iVisa website and app are much more stable and user-friendly on phones.

That said, even our Super Rush Service, it may take 1 to 2 hours to receive your QR code. If possible, apply before you travel to avoid airport delays.

You can save your QR code to your device or print it out to skip the lines and avoid filling out paper forms on the floor after a long flight.

How long before my flight should I complete the Saint Lucia Electronic Immigration Form?

You should complete the Saint Lucia Electronic Immigration Form up to 72 hours before your flight.

While most forms are approved within a few hours, delays can happen during peak travel times. Applying early allows for processing and ensures you receive your QR code before landing.

No QR code means delays at immigration, so don’t leave it to the last minute.

Can I edit my Saint Lucia Electronic Immigration Form after submitting it?

Yes, you can, but editing isn’t always smooth. You’ll need to visit the official Saint Lucia travel form website, enter your reference number, and update your details there. However, many travelers report issues like glitches or trouble retrieving their form, forcing them to submit a new form from scratch.

“I tried editing the form after submitting it, but the system kept shifting my passport expiry date by a day. Even after resubmitting, the issue stayed. Eventually, I gave up and just submitted a new form from scratch,” said Dinesh, Trinidad and Tobago.

If you applied through iVisa, contact our customer service team right away. We’ll walk you through the process and help make sure your info is updated correctly without the stress.

Do I need to complete a new Electronic Immigration Form if I leave and re-enter Saint Lucia?

Yes. The Saint Lucia Electronic Immigration Form is valid for a single entry of up to 30 days. If you leave the country and come back, even during the same trip, you will need to submit a new form.

The good news is that our simplified iVisa process only takes a few minutes. The app also securely saves your information, making it faster to fill out repeat forms.

Can I submit one Electronic Immigration Form for my group or travel companions if we’re not family?

Yes, you can. One person can submit the Electronic Immigration Form for the whole travel group, even if you're not related or living at the same address. As long as you're all arriving together, it’s good to go.

It's especially easy with our simplified iVisa format, which allows you to fill out and submit the form with just a few clicks.

What do I need to present at Saint Lucia immigration on arrival?

Here’s what immigration officers typically require on arrival:

• Your QR code, either on your phone or printed.

“There’s barely any cell signal when you land at UVF, and the Wi-Fi is spotty at best. I was lucky I had my QR code downloaded already. Definitely recommend saving it offline before your flight,” advised Sam, Barbados.

• A valid passport, or for OECS nationals, a national ID.
• Any additional travel documents if asked, like hotel bookings or return tickets.

That’s usually it, keep your documents handy, and you’ll be beach-bound in no time.

Is there a service to help me get through immigration faster at UVF airport?

Yes, Saint Lucia offers a “Fast Track” service for a fee. A friendly airport representative will meet you at the gate, escort you through immigration, help with baggage claim, and guide you through customs. It's designed to save time and make arrivals feel a little more VIP.

That said, UVF is a relatively small and well-run airport. Most travelers find the lines manageable, especially outside peak travel times.

Unless it’s peak travel season or you just want that VIP touch, you’ll probably cruise through just fine.

What should I know about transportation from UVF airport?

UVF is on the southern tip of Saint Lucia, while most resorts are up north. That means your ride could take 1.5 to 2 hours, but the island views make it worth it.

You’ve got options:

• Resort shuttles: Many hotels offer transfers. Just confirm ahead of time.
• Taxis: Available at the airport with fixed rates.
• Rental cars: Perfect if you want to explore on your own. Just remember, they drive on the left.

If you arrive late, it’s best to pre-book your ride. And maybe grab a snack for the road.
