INDIRECT GENERAL - The Act outlines criteria relating to entry, residence and citizenship in Saint Lucia. While nationals from specific countries are exempted from visa requirements, the Act does not make any provision for consideration of persons who may be seeking entry due to climate and other environmental changes. However, in the wake of a disaster or emergency in Saint Lucia, the Act allows for the prohibition of entry of any person who is not a national.
