Passport and St. Lucia
I'm travelling to St. Lucia next week, for two weeks, my passport is fine, however my girlfriend's UK passport expires in mid June. I've looked on a couple of websites and they seem to be vague as to whether you need to have 6 months validity on your passport, or not. It's just a bog standard holiday so does anybody know if this is a problem?
Cheers and thanks for any help in advance. svenny |
Should'nt be a problem. Google 'St Lucia Tourist Board' and click vacation planner......or contact St Lucia High Commission,10 Kensington Court,London, w8 5DL. The WX should be great,have a good time.

Don't take what i say as gospel but as a rule no-one really puts the six months thing into practise.
I see people every day travelling to the states - somewhere where you'd think they'd be bothered with all their stupid rules and regulations - with less than six months on their passport! So long as it's valid for the return sector it really shouldn't be a problem. |
The US does not require UK passport holders to have any validity on their passports beyond their visit.

FWIW, Delta's access page to Timatic returns this information for a UK national travelling to St Lucia:-

I thought it shouldn't be a problem, just couldn't contact the High Commission over the weekend.
Thanks for all the help. svenny PS Will try to enjoy sitting in the sun doing nothing!!!! :) |
