The Government has officially started issuing 10-year Saint Lucia passport, fulfilling a key commitment announced by Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre during the 2025/2026 Budget Address.
Effective August 5, 2025, the Immigration Department has transitioned from issuing 5-year passports to passports with a 10-year validity — all while maintaining the existing passport fee structure.
This enhancement is intended to deliver tangible benefits to Saint Lucian citizens by reducing the frequency of renewals and the associated costs. Over a decade, passport holders will no longer need to renew twice, resulting in significant time and financial savings for individuals and families.
The introduction of the 10-year passport reflects the Government’s broader commitment to modernizing public services, enhancing citizen convenience, and delivering on its promises to the people of Saint Lucia.
