Complete your Saint Lucia arrival card online

One submission covers one arrival. A new form is used for each arrival in Saint Lucia.

The portal says that travelers can update the information they submitted before they arrive, by returning to the portal and following the prompts.

The form does not decide how long you may stay. That depends on the immigration rules that apply to you.

The official portal states that the form can be accessed no more than 72 hours before travel. There is no cut-off before the flight, since the form can also be filled in on arrival.

The portal sends the receipt by email after submission. After we submit your form, we send the receipt to the email address given in your order.

You can order earlier. We hold your application and submit it once the window is open.

The Saint Lucia ED Form is the online Embarkation/Disembarkation form, also called the electronic immigration form. It is completed on the Saint Lucia Online Immigration and Customs Portal and is used by Immigration and Customs. The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority and the Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority promote it.

Completing the form before you travel is optional. The tourism authority says that air travelers are encouraged to complete the immigration form online prior to arrival, and that it can be done anywhere with internet access, including on arrival using the free airport Wi-Fi. In a statement of March 2023, reported by the Caribbean Media Corporation, the authority said that the online ED form "is not a requirement for boarding".

The form is still part of the arrival process for air travelers. The UK government's travel advice says that travelers who have not completed it before they arrive are asked to fill in the electronic form on arrival. According to the 2023 statement, the written form was phased out as of April 12, 2023. Completing it ahead of time saves that step at the airport.

The tourism authority describes the form as for air arrivals only, visitors and residents alike, and says that cruise passengers are processed under port authority and cruise line procedures.

The portal says to submit one form per family or group. One application holds the main traveler and up to four family members.

1. Arrival: residential status, airline, flight number, country and port of embarkation, airport of arrival, and the intended dates of arrival and departure.
2. Personal: names, gender, country and date of birth, nationality, marital status, occupation, home address and email address.
3. Travel: travel document type, number, issue country and dates, a photo of the biodata page, and the countries visited in the last 21 days.
4. Destination: purpose of visit, accommodation type, name, address and parish, and check-in and check-out dates.
5. Health: symptoms within the past 21 days and contact with communicable diseases.
6. Family: the details of up to four family members.
7. Customs: the number of pieces of luggage, and questions about food, plants and animal products, pharmaceuticals, weapons, commercial merchandise and currency of US$10,000 or over.

The form states that false declarations are subject to a fine of XCD $1,000. Individual fields on the live form may differ slightly.

Common mistakes to avoid:

• Filing too early: the form opens 72 hours before travel
• Names that differ from the travel document: the form asks for the name exactly as shown on it
• An unreadable biodata photo: the form accepts JPG, PNG and PDF files
• Treating the form as a visa: visa rules depend on your nationality and are separate
