Saint Lucia Passport Index 2026: Passport Ranking and Visa-Free Travel

The St. Lucia passport ranking on Passport Reports explains how the passport is positioned using a 139 mobility score and a 68th global rank. It helps readers compare visa-free access, visa on arrival, eTA access and visa-required destinations without treating the ranking as travel or legal advice.

The mobility score for St. Lucia is based on accessible destinations counted across 92 visa-free entries, 42 visa-on-arrival options and 5 eTA destinations. Destinations that require a visa are shown separately as 59, so travelers can read the access profile with more context.

Visa-free travel means a destination may allow St. Lucia passport holders to enter without applying for a visa before departure. The permitted stay, purpose of visit, passport validity and entry conditions can still vary, so the list should be checked before each trip.

Visa on arrival means the traveler may be able to request a visa after reaching the destination, usually at an airport, border post or designated entry point. Fees, forms, photos, return tickets or accommodation details may still be required.
