ST. KITTS-NEVIS IS MOST SOUGHT AFTER

BY DEVELOPERS OF UPSCALE HOTEL PROJECTS

BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, APRIL 25^th, 2018 (PRESS SEC) – St. Kitts and Nevis is the preferred destination in the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) for foreign investment, Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris said today, Wednesday, April 25^th, at his press conference, adding that it is also the only country in the OECS sub-region with a near five percent projected growth in 2018.

“The lineup of investment projects is impressive,” the Honourable Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis went on to mention forthcoming investments in the hotel sector such as those from the Ritz-Carlton and Six Senses luxury brands, which will lay roots in St. Kitts at the Southeast Peninsula and La Vallee, respectively.

Prime Minister Harris said the Ottley’s Plantation Inn would soon have a major influx of investment, and he also referred to the Seaview Gardens Hotel Project, which broke ground last November in West Basseterre at Camp’s.

Dr. Harris said, “We boast of the Park Hyatt, the Six Senses and the Ritz-Carlton,” adding, “We are on our way to become the destination with the largest number of branded luxury hotel properties anywhere, per capita.  This is an incredible demonstration of confidence in our government, in our people and in the transparent way in which we do business here.”

The Prime Minister, who is also the Minister of Finance, noted that, “Our success is incredible, particularly given our past history of episodic investment in branded properties in our Federation.”

Prime Minister Harris pointed out that the Four Seasons Resort in Nevis opened in 1991, the St. Kitts Marriott Resort followed 12 years later in 2003, and the Park Hyatt St. Kitts at Christophe Harbour on the Southeast Peninsula debuted 14 years later in November 2017.

“No sooner than Park Hyatt has come to us, we are now saying that Six Senses has signed on to begin its debut in St. Kitts and Nevis,” the Honourable Prime Minister said, while disclosing that the Ministry of Tourism will soon be providing further updates regarding other prestigious hotels that are going to be opening here.

Prime Minister Harris then noted that upscale hotel properties are making St. Kitts and Nevis their most-sought-after investment destination.

Basseterre, St. Kitts, May 26, 2017 (SKNIS): The Ministry of National Security wishes to advise all holders of deactivated St. Kitts and Nevis passports without the country of origin field that they must reapply for new passport by paying the full cost.

St Kitts and Nevis passports issued between the years 2010 – 2014 excluded the data field, “Place of Birth”.

The Ministry reminds that commencing 10^th December, 2014, all such St Kitts and Nevis passports were recalled for re-issuance of a new passport with the inclusion of the aforementioned data field and a notation on the passport observation page, where applicable, of any name changes. The re-issuance was at no additional cost to the applicant.

This initiative continued through 31^st December, 2015 and was further officially extended until 31^st March, 2016. However, since that time, the Ministry of National Security / Passport Office continued to facilitate persons until approximately the third (3^rd) quarter of 2016.

In light of the prolonged period of attempting to accommodate holders of a St Kitts and Nevis passport without the data field, in March 2017, the government announced that all passports without the data field, “Place of Birth” would be deactivated and holders would now be required to bear the costs for the re-issuance of a new passport.

All St. Kitts and Nevis passports without the data field, ‘Place of Birth’, have now been cancelled and can no longer be used as valid travel document.

The government regrets any inconvenience caused, and hopes that affected individuals will now comply with this new requirement. Persons are asked to contact the St. Kitts and Nevis Embassy closest to them.
