Those passport codes are outside this exact residual cohort; this finding concerns ordinary foreign passports, not diplomatic, official, resident, crew, work, transit, or other special-document routes.","The traveller completes the online eTA process with travel details and documents and receives the approval electronically before travel. This is a pre-travel authorisation, not an arrival form: the release separately retains the electronic Immigration and Customs declaration.","The release labels CARICOM and other categories as service-charge exemptions, not eTA-application exemptions. A fee waiver therefore does not alter the mandatory eTA classification for a residual ordinary passport.","The Nevis Island Administration retains a generic online visa route for travellers who require a visa, but does not publish a current nationality schedule and does not narrow the later every-visitor eTA requirement. The eTA classification records the proven universal, mandatory pre-travel authorisation; it does not assert that a separately required visa can never also apply.","All listed codes are the queue's exact 165 pairs after self, citizenship, OECS, canonical, and easier-route exclusions.
