“According to the terms of the agreement, anyone who carries a valid St Kitts and Nevis passport (normal, diplomatic, official etc.) will be able to travel to any Schengen country without needing a visa. Holders of valid passports from the EU countries concerned will likewise be able to travel to the Federation without needing a visa,” said High Commissioner Williams, adding that the arrangement however does not apply to the United Kingdom and Ireland.

He said that the short-term waiver allows persons concerned to stay for a maximum period of three months within a six month period following the date of first entry into the territory of each of the member states.

“While it covers France and the Netherlands, it does not cover their dependent territories. This will be covered by a separate agreement. The short term visa waiver agreement does not cover persons entering the member states for the purpose of work,” said the St. Kitts and Nevis High Commissioner.
