St Kitts & Nevis unveils new passports with enhanced security features
St Kitts and Nevis is rolling out new passports as part of its fourth Generation Border Management System upgrade.
The Ministry of National Security said the new passports are machine-readable and incorporate high-technology features designed to enhance security and streamline border management processes.
“As part of this significant upgrade, there will be a new passport application form. Accordingly, the cut-off point for old applications will be Tuesday, 05 November 2024. No new applications for passports will be processed between Tuesday 05 November 2024 to Friday, 08 November 2024, except in cases of emergency,” the ministry said.
“The Ministry acknowledges that this transition period may cause temporary inconvenience, but we are confident that the new system will greatly benefit our citizens by providing more secure and efficient travel documentation. We appreciate the public’s patience and understanding as we implement these necessary improvements.”
The St Kitts and Nevis passport is ranked 23rd on Henley and Partners’ Global Passport Index with visa free/visa on arrival access to 157 countries including the European Union and United Kingdom.
