Basseterre, St. Kitts, November 24, 2020 (SKNIS): Abdias Samuel, Chair of the National COVID-19 Task Force, appealed to all travelers arriving in St. Kitts and Nevis to upload certified and accurate test results and other pertinent information tohttp://knatravelform.kn for smooth processing of their online immigration and customs forms, as well as entry into the Federation.
“Persons are uploading receipts and things that cannot be verified and that will not be accepted. Please ensure that when you upload your test it verifies everything – the lab, the location of the lab, and the information…,” said Mr. Samuel during a special National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) COVID-19 Briefing on November 24, 2020.
Mr. Samuel said that persons who are using home kit testing and others will not be accepted.

It is very important that you do so and if you do not do so and there is no means of verifying these tests your application will not be processed.”
He noted that persons who are uploading incorrect information are putting others at risk.

We are appealing to everyone who wants to travel to St. Kitts and Nevis to do so and do so the right way.”
He reiterated that the right way is to visit http://knatravelform.kn and follow the requirements…
