Copy of travel itinerary, including flight details and planned dates in Saint Lucia.

Recommended
Letter of invitation from a friend, relative, or organisation in Saint Lucia, if applicable.
Government guidance specifies a letter of invitation when the applicant is invited by a friend or relative. For business or event visits, an invitation from the company or organiser can also support the application, even though tourist category is used in this policy.
Evidence of sufficient financial means to cover travel and living expenses during the visit (e.g., recent bank statements, pay slips, or sponsorship letter).
While Saint Luciaâs official checklist does not state a specific minimum amount, consular practice typically requires proof that the applicant can support themselves without working locally. Documents may include recent bank statements, employment letters, or a sponsorâs undertaking with supporting financial evidence.
