The Saint Kitts and Nevis stamp

Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Saint Kitts and Nevis’s is Hologram: cracked ice, a mosaic of small mirrors, the finish for places with 500,000 to 2 million visitors a year. With 1.1 million international arrivals in 2019, Saint Kitts and Nevis is rarer than 66% of the 199 places with figures.

What counts as a visit to Saint Kitts and Nevis

The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Saint Kitts and Nevis when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. Photos only at an airport make a transit stamp in lighter ink, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
