Travel Documents and Entry/Departure Requirements:
Citizens of Canada need only to present proof of citizenship – preferably a passport or birth certificate with the raised seal – in order to enter St. Kitts-Nevis.  If the birth certificate is used, it must be accompanied by a government issued photo ID (a drivers licence, for example) showing the same name.  Where applicable, documentation of a legal name change (for example, a marriage certificate) must also be presented.  Citizens of the United States, however, are required to have passports in order to re-enter that country.  As such a valid passport is a required travel document when travelling to the Caribbean.   

Additionally, proof of sufficient funds and a return or onward passage might be required. There is a departure tax of $60 XCD (about $22 USD) payable in cash, or by credit card – Visa or MasterCard – at  the airport.

Please reconfirm travel document requirements with your carrier prior to the commencement of your trip.
