St. Kitts & Nevis Revise Entry Requirements
Beginning April 1, 2022, all international visitors arriving by air may show proof of either a negative COVID-19 antigen test or a negative RT-PCR test to enter the Federation.
Antigen tests must be taken within the 24 hours prior to arrival; RT-PCR tests must be taken within the 72 hours prior to arrival. This is a revision of the previous requirement, which only allowed for RT-PCR tests.
Lindsay F.P. Grant, Minister of Tourism, Transport and Ports, said: “The Federation is primed to continue welcoming visitors through the spring and summer months. We are fully open for visitors, and we are pleased to share revised entry protocols that make air travel to the destination easier for our international guests. We are confident that these amended entry requirements will aid in the rebound of our air arrivals, and the ongoing recovery of our tourism industry and related economies.”
Ellison “Tommy” Thompson, CEO of the St. Kitts Tourism Authority, said: “Spring and summer are ideal times to experience our destination and easing our entry processes means more seamless arrivals for our guests. We look forward to travellers immersing themselves in our quintessential Caribbean experiences this season, whether they’re seeking a relaxing escape, the adrenaline of the outdoors, exceptional cuisine, live music, or a destination rich in history.”
Only fully vaccinated visitors may visit St. Kitts and Nevis. Exceptions are in place for children under 18 as well as citizens, residents and returning nationals of the Federation. Children ages 11 and under who are accompanying their fully vaccinated parents or guardians take the vaccination status of their parents. Unvaccinated children ages 12-17 must test upon arrival and vacation in place with all family members while awaiting test results.
