Passport/Visa Note
All foreigners should have at least six months validity remaining on their passports. No visas are required to visit St Helena. A return ticket, travel insurance and pre-booked accommodation are required. Proof of medical insurance is also a requirement if intending to stay longer than 48 hours. It is highly recommended for all travellers that passports have at least six months validity remaining after your intended date of departure from your travel destination. Immigration officials often apply different rules to those stated by travel agents and official sources. There is an entry fee charge of £12 for up to four days, £14 up to ten days, £16 up to 21 days, £20 up to 60 days, and £25 up to 90 days. If you wish to stay for longer than 90 days you should apply to the St Helena Immigration Control Board for a Residents Permit.
