The St Kitts and Nevis Government announced on Friday that it is offering an amnesty to undocumented Caricom immigrants, which includes waiving outstanding work permit payments.
“Cabinet has agreed to grant a 90 day amnesty for Caricom nationals to regularize their status. This would include all undocumented persons and those who would have lapsed in keeping their status current,” a release from the ministry of national security in that country said.
“The amnesty therefore enables Caricom nationals to regularize their status regarding outstanding payments for work permits. The amnesty also applies to illegal Caricom nationals who have no criminal record.
Under the amnesty, outstanding payments for years prior to 2015 are waived.
The ministry is asking those affected to visit its office from today, July 20, 2015 to October 16, 2015 to make the required payments for 2015.
“All applicants are asked to bring along their passports,” the statement said.
