St. Kitts Nevis: The Government of St. Kitts-Nevis yesterday announced that effective today nationals applying for passports will have to pay almost double the usual fees and a new biometric passport, or “e-passport”, will now be used instead of the older machine readable travel document, according to a report in the St. Kitts Nevis Observer.
Passport fees increase by 94% for adults, 200% for minors and senior citizens, and 100% for replacement of the document. The following fees will be charged to obtain the new passports: issuance of a 32-page e-passport for applicants under 16 years or over 65 years – EC$150; issuance of a 32-page e-passport for applicants 16 years or under 65 years – EC$250; replacement of a lost, stolen and or damaged e-passport (except for citizenship by investment) – EC$500. Separate fees for applicants who obtain citizenship by investment are to be published shortly.
