## Additional Rules
### Visa exemption for Schengen States

St. Kitts and Nevis citizens are classified as 'Annex II' foreign nationals, and so are permitted to stay visa-free in the 27 member states of the Schengen Area as a whole — rather than each country individually — for a period not exceeding 3 months every 6 months. ETIAS will be required for entry starting 2025.

### Visa exemption in CARICOM States

St. Kitts and Nevis citizens wishing to live and work in another CARICOM State should obtain a CSME Skills Certificate. This must be presented at Immigration in the receiving country along with a valid passport and a police certificate of character. Holders of certificates are given a maximum of six months stay in the host country until their status and documents could be verified. Additional documents are required if travelling with spouse and/or dependants such as Marriage certificate, Birth Certificate, etc.

### Visa exemption in OECS States

Citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis can live and work in Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as a result of right of freedom of movement granted in Article 12 of the Protocol of the Eastern Caribbean Economic Union of the Revised Treaty of Basseterre.

### Visa exemption and requirements for the United Kingdom

St. Kitts and Nevis citizens are able to visit the United Kingdom for up to 6 months (or 3 months if they enter from Ireland) without the need to apply for a visa as long as they fulfil all of the following criteria:
* they do not work during their stay in the UK
* they must not register a marriage or register a civil partnership during their stay in the UK
* they can present evidence of sufficient money to fund their stay in the UK (if requested by the border inspection officer)
* they intend to leave the UK at the end of their visit and can meet the cost of the return/onward journey
* they have completed a landing card and submitted it at passport control unless in direct transit to a destination outside the Common Travel Area
* if under the age of 18, they can demonstrate evidence of suitable care arrangements and parental (or guardian's) consent for their stay in the UK
However, even though, strictly speaking, he/she is not required to apply for a visa if he/she satisfies all of the above criteria, a St. Kitts and Nevis citizen who falls into any of the following categories has been strongly advised by the UK Border Agency (replaced by UK Visas and Immigration) to apply for a visa prior to travelling to the UK:
* he/she has any unspent criminal convictions in any country
* he/she has previously been refused or breached the terms of any entry to the UK, or been deported or otherwise removed from the UK
* he/she has previously applied for a visa and been refused one
* he/she has been warned by a UK official that he/she should obtain a visa before travelling to the UK
St. Kitts and Nevis citizens with a grandparent born either in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands or Isle of Man at any time or in Ireland on or before 31 March 1922 can apply for UK Ancestry Entry Clearance, which enables them to work in the UK for 5 years, after which they can apply to settle indefinitely.

## Consular protection of St. Kitts and Nevis citizens abroad

St. Kitts and Nevis citizens who require consular assistance in a foreign country where there is no St. Kitts and Nevis foreign mission may be able to request assistance from a British Embassy, high commission or consulate. For example, a citizen of St. Kitts and Nevis who need to travel urgently and whose passport has expired, been lost or stolen can be issued with an emergency travel document by a British foreign mission as long as this has cleared with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saint Kitts and Nevis. See List of diplomatic missions of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
