Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Saint Kitts and Nevis. Airlines at check-in may ask for at least 6 months of validity beyond your departure date — if yours is close to expiring, renew it before you fly. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Saint Kitts and Nevis | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they want to see you leave before your 90 days are up. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card ready to show you have enough money for your trip. There's no fixed amount, but a few hundred US dollars in cash or available credit covers the basics. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from arrival
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Saint Kitts and Nevis, not from your departure date. If it's close to expiring, renew it before you go.
Overstaying is costly
The visa-free stay is strictly 90 days and cannot be extended. Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and a ban from re-entering. Plan your departure carefully.
