Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA)
Non-SKN ordinary passports on an eTA or eVisa route need approved eTA authorization before departure. Apply through the official e-Border website or app. The eTA does not replace a visa where your passport requires one.
Arrival guidanceOfficial reference [1]Entry conditions and exceptions
Check whether these rules affect your eligibility, application, or arrival.
Check eTA service-charge exemptions
The standard eTA service charge is US$17 per traveler. It is waived for CARICOM nationals, accredited diplomats on official duty, children under two, in-transit passengers, on-duty flight or vessel crew, active military or search-and-rescue personnel, and qualifying Saint Kitts and Nevis dual nationals. A fee waiver does not remove a visa requirement; residents and OECS nationals use the separate free enhanced ED Form route.
Official guidance [2]Some travelers use the free enhanced ED Form
Saint Kitts and Nevis citizens, residents and OECS nationals use the enhanced Immigration and Customs ED Form instead of an eTA. This also applies to qualifying dual nationals; check the official instructions about uploading proof when you travel on another passport.
