eTA Required for All Visitors
Even travellers who do not appear on the visa-required list face an additional obligation. Saint Kitts and Nevis now requires every visitor, including infants and children, to hold an approved Electronic Travel Authorisation before beginning their journey to the federation.
The eTA application process is completed online and involves uploading a passport photograph, scanning one's face using a device, providing trip and accommodation details, answering a set of personal questions, and paying the required fee. Accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Applicants do not need to complete the process in a single session. The system allows progress to be saved and resumed later on the same device.
To be eligible, travellers must hold a valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining beyond their planned arrival date, along with at least one blank page available for entry stamps.
