Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa-on-arrival for Indonesian citizens. You must obtain a visa before traveling.
Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, but can vary by embassy. Apply at least a month before your planned departure.
You'll need a passport valid for 6+ months, completed application form, passport-sized photos, return flight booking, hotel reservation, proof of sufficient funds, and sometimes a cover letter explaining your trip purpose. Check with the specific embassy for exact requirements.
Visa fees vary by embassy and visa type. Expect to pay around USD 50–100 for a single-entry tourist visa. Contact the embassy for the exact fee.
Extensions are not generally available for tourist visa holders. The database shows extensions are not allowed. Plan your stay within the visa's validity.
Saint Lucia requires yellow fever vaccination if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Indonesia is not on that list, so you likely don't need it unless you've recently traveled to an affected country.
The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). US dollars are widely accepted, but you'll get change in XCD. Bring some cash for taxis and small shops; credit cards work at hotels and larger restaurants.
