Residual foreign ordinary passports: mandatory Saint Kitts and Nevis electronic travel authorisation
The current Government release makes approved electronic travel authorisation mandatory before departure for every visitor from 26 May 2025; all 165 exact residual foreign ordinary-passport pairs are within that rule and outside its stated no-application exceptions.
- The Government release says every visitor must have an approved eTA before departing and says only Saint Kitts and Nevis citizens/residents and OECS citizens do not need to apply. 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. No code is duplicated or omitted.
