eVisa required — no visa on arrival
Nepali passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Saint Kitts and Nevis. You must apply and receive approval before you travel. Arriving without one means you'll be refused entry.

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 first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for eVisa online
Go to the official Saint Kitts and Nevis eVisa website (https://www.stkittsnevisevisa.com) or use the government's immigration portal. Fill in your personal details, passport info, travel dates, and accommodation. Upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page and a passport-sized photo. Pay the fee with a credit or debit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days.
2
Receive eVisa approval
Check your email (including spam folder) for the eVisa approval document. It will be a PDF. Save it on your phone and print a paper copy as backup. The document includes your visa number, validity dates, and entry conditions.

Prepare for arrival at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB)
When you land in Basseterre, head to the immigration hall. Have your passport, eVisa approval, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will stamp your passport and may ask about your plans. The process is straightforward — just be polite and have documents organised.

Collect baggage and exit
After immigration, collect your luggage from the carousel. There's a customs declaration area — if you have nothing to declare, walk through the green channel. Then you're free to exit the airport.

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 3–5 business days, but it can vary. Apply at least a week before your departure to be safe. There's no expedited option listed publicly.
The official eVisa fee is not fixed in the database, but typically ranges from $50 to $100 USD depending on the type and duration. Check the official immigration website for the exact amount when you apply.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. You must leave before the visa expires. If you need a longer stay, you'd need to apply for a different visa type before travelling.
Saint Kitts and Nevis requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Nepal is not a yellow fever endemic country, so you likely won't need it unless you've recently travelled to an affected area.
You will be denied entry and may be put on the next flight back. There is no visa on arrival for Nepali passport holders. Always secure your eVisa before travelling.
The standard eVisa is typically single-entry. If you plan to leave and re-enter, you may need to apply for a new eVisa each time. Check the specific conditions on your approval document.
Rejections are rare but can happen if documents are incomplete or incorrect. You can reapply with corrected information. Contact the Saint Kitts and Nevis immigration office for guidance on the reason and how to proceed.
