St Kitts and Nevis is the latest Caribbean destination to officially remove all of its travel restrictions. 

This means travelers to the twin-island will no longer have to show proof of a negative test or vaccination to enter the territory. In addition, there is also no quarantine of any kind. 

The move comes under the guidance of new St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew, who also serves as minister of health. The change comes as St Kitts is holding its Sweet Side of Summer travel programme, which includes three nights free at all participating hotels. 

However, all travelers to St Kitts and Nevis do still have to fill out an online customs and immigration form before arrival.

Tourism interest groups welcome the move

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

He declared that the Tourism Authority is pleased to communicate the removal of restrictions, which would improve the destination’s travel experience.

For his part, Devon Liburd, CEO of the Nevis Tourism Authority, said: “We’re excited to be taking this crucial step to fully open Nevis’ borders to the world. Lifting these protocols will allow us to further share our rich culture and offerings to visitors coming to the island.”
