Passport validity counts from entry date
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 expires sooner, you'll be denied entry.
No visa extensions available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Overstaying can lead to fines and future entry bans. Plan your exit accordingly.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration'. There's usually one queue for all non-citizens. Have your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation confirmation ready.
2
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer will ask your purpose of visit and length of stay. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with the entry date and allowed stay.
3
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, go to baggage claim, then customs. Declare any items over the duty-free allowance. Use the green channel if you have nothing to declare.
