Depart to St. Kitts & Nevis as Covid Resurge

 

After months of isolation – hard work that has ensured only a handful of Covid-19 cases have been reported on the islands – St Kitts and Nevis have opened up to the world once more.

There were strict protocols in place on the islands in addition to an almost complete ban on leaving or entering the nation, and since the easing of the local restrictions residents have been eager to take the opportunity to look at real estate. Properties including land, condominiums and villas have been purchased, with financing made available by the Bank of Nevis and TDC Financial Services.

The Nevis Island Administration waived the Alien Landholder License, and with this significant saving on the cost of a property purchase our clients have been keen to purchase their dream homes – even though they are still abroad. Many of the properties on our site feature, in addition to dozens of detailed photographs, video tours both in and around the home: it really is possible to immerse yourself in the possibilities without stepping foot on the island.

Furthermore, the islands' Administration also created additional savings by bringing in significant concessions on building materials for construction projects that start before the end of 2020. It's the perfect time to be looking at our gorgeous range of homes for sale.


The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis has opened its borders once more on October 31, 2020. One of the protocols for incoming travelers outside of the CARICOM Travel Bubble is a mandatory 14 day quarantine period. This comes with various requirements, including employing the services of a private security firm and a number of Covid-19 tests at different stages, but it is now possible for anyone to visit the islands again.

Those keen to invest have found a workaround by choosing to quarantine at the property they are most interested in buying – the perfect opportunity to know a place thoroughly before completing a purchase. At Nevis Style Realty, we can work with the on-island Covid Task Force to get a property approved for quarantine purposes, and we can ensure the home is stocked with food and supplies that will be needed for the two week period.

Covid-19 and the strict lockdowns and protocols most of us have lived with for months have certainly been useful to help everyone re-evaluate what is most important in their lives. Nevis is as laidback and welcoming as ever, with the gentle charm that has lured travelers for centuries still the island's mainstay. For anybody seeking a little peace and light and calm, a reminder that the world still has beautiful possibilities and places, Nevis really is the perfect setting.
