“Our world is being impacted by this pandemic. Although we have all been severely impacted in one way or another, we are all in this together.
While there are no confirmed cases on St. Kitts or Nevis at this time, the Federation is making every effort to safeguard citizens and travellers and the plan to do so is evolving in accordance with all world health organizations. Our website and social media platforms have the most up to date information concerning restrictions to and from our island.

We wish the very best for all of our repeat visitors and those interested in the destination. We hope that as things begin to subside, you will keep Nevis in mind as we have plenty to offer and we are waiting for you when the time is right.
