| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Saint Kitts and Nevis | Immigration officers at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
