Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Carry proof of onward travel and sufficient funds, as these may be checked at the border.

No. Short-stay entry to Cuba is intended for tourism, business meetings, and transit — it does not permit paid employment. To work in Cuba, Saint Kitts and Nevis citizens need a separate work visa or permit arranged in advance.

The 30 days short-stay limit is generally firm. Extensions are sometimes possible by applying to the Cuba immigration authorities before your permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so do not rely on it.
