BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS — St. Kitts and Nevis has lifted all COVID-19-related entry testing and vaccination requirements, effective immediately.

The Federation is now open to both vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers, plus proof of a negative COVID-19 test or quarantine upon arrival are no longer required for entry.

All inbound passengers are required to complete and submit an online customs and immigration ED card for ease of transit through the St. Kitts and Nevis border management agency. Travellers will not receive an approval for entry in response to completion of the form as this is no longer required.

Entry protocols were first implemented in 2020, at the start of the pandemic, to ensure the safety of locals and visitors.

“The removal of entry testing and vaccination requirements comes at a time when traveller confidence is on the rise, said Ellison ‘Tommy’ Thompson, CEO of the St. Kitts Tourism Authority. “The combination of increasing demand and more seamless travel processes will make St. Kitts even more desirable to visitors abroad.”

To further entice travellers, St. Kitts’s summer promotion, Sweet Side of Summer, runs until Aug. 30 and features up to three nights free at participating hotels. Travellers are also encouraged to save the date for St. Kitts’ annual Grill Fest, taking place in November and featuring local grill masters and exceptional food and drink.
