Overview

Saint Lucia does not have a single, publicly standardized "Family Reunification Visa" form like some other nations; instead, residency for family members is often handled through the Immigration Department based on the status of the principal resident or citizen.

This permit allows family members of Saint Lucian citizens or legal residents to join them in the country. Because there is no standardized visa form, the process is handled on a case-by-case basis by the Department of Immigration. Successful applicants may eventually qualify for permanent residence after five years of continuous legal stay.
