Saint Helena Visa Information

Tourist Visa Options & Entry Guidelines for Visiting Saint Helena

Saint Helena, known for its remote charm, dramatic cliffs, and rich colonial history, offers a straightforward entry process for visiting travelers. Most nationalities require a Visitor’s Permit, which can typically be obtained on arrival, allowing short stays for tourism and leisure.

Travelers must present a valid passport, proof of accommodation, and evidence of sufficient funds for their visit. Some visitors may also need to apply for a permit in advance, depending on nationality or length of intended stay.
