#CARD:Saint Kitts and Nevis:Travel\Consular Information
St. Kitts & Nevis - Consular Information Sheet
May 27, 1993
Country Description: St. Kitts and Nevis is a developing island nation.
Tourist facilities are widely available.
Entry Requirements: For stays of up to six months, U.S. citizens need proof
of U.S. citizenship, photo identification, and a return/onward ticket. For
further information concerning entry requirements, travelers can contact the
Embassy of St. Kitts and Nevis, 2100 M Street N.W., Suite 608, Washington,
D.C. 20037, tel: (202) 833-3550 or the permanent mission to the United
Nations in New York.
Medical Facilities: Medical care is limited. Doctors and hospitals often
expect immediate cash payment for health services. U.S. medical insurance
is not always valid outside the United States. In some cases, supplementary
medical insurance specifically covering overseas problems has proved to be
useful. For additional health information, travelers may contact the
Centers for Disease Control's international travelers hotline at (404) 332-
4559.
Crime Information: Petty street crime occurs but is unusual. Valuables left
unattended on beaches are subject to theft.
The loss or theft of a U.S. passport overseas should be reported to the
local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. A birth certificate
and/or driver's license generally cannot be replaced outside of the United
States. U.S. citizens can refer to the Department of State's pamphlet "A
Safe Trip Abroad" which provides useful information on guarding valuables
and protecting personal security while traveling abroad. Both this pamphlet
and "Tips for Travelers to the Caribbean" are available from the
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington
D.C. 20402.
Drug Penalties: U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the country in
which they are traveling. Criminal penalties for possession, use, and
dealing in illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect
lengthy jail sentences and fines.
Embassy Location/Registration: The United States does not maintain an
embassy in St. Kitts and Nevis. American citizens requiring assistance can
contact the U.S. Embassy in St. John's, Antigua; telephone (809) 462-3505.
U.S. citizens may obtain from the U.S. Embassy in Antigua updated
information on travel and security in the area.
No. 93-151
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated October 27, 1992 to add
information on reporting the loss abroad of a U.S. passport.
