What the Saint Lucia visa rules mean for Ukraine travellers
Ukraine citizens need a visa issued in advance by an embassy or consulate of Saint Lucia. Start the application several weeks before departure: you will typically need a passport valid for six months with blank pages, a completed application form, passport photos, a travel itinerary, proof of accommodation and of sufficient funds, and sometimes an invitation letter or bank statements.
The main option is the Holiday visa, which costs 35 GBP with a processing time of 3–5 business days.
