Planning a move to Saint Lucia. Where to begin.

Where the visa stands

Saint Lucia promoted extended visits through Live It, while the government separately offers visitor extensions. The reviewed material does not establish a distinct current nomad visa and income threshold.

Start with your work plans

Ask Immigration whether your proposed remote work is allowed and which permission covers the full stay. An accommodation package does not grant immigration status.

Describe who pays you, where your employer or clients are based and what you would do while living abroad. Use those details when checking the official route. Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.

Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.

Take the first application step

Check the government’s extension-of-stay procedure and obtain written guidance for the work you intend to do.

The older Live It announcement is not used as a guarantee of a one-year work permission.

Keep two money questions separate

The visa income test concerns the evidence required for an application. A living budget concerns your housing, healthcare, transport and daily spending. Compare both before committing to a move.

This briefing reorganizes the existing visa summary. It does not represent a new source review. The visa section of the guide keeps the original review dates and qualifications.
