Guide last updated October 25, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of the intended stay
  • Online ETA application completed before departure, with passport details, travel itinerary, and accommodation address
  • A digital passport-style photo uploaded as part of the online form
  • Confirmed return or onward ticket
  • Evidence of accommodation booking
  • No biometrics collected in advance; standard photo/fingerprint capture may occur at the port of entry
  • Travel/health insurance not mandatory but recommended given limited local medical facilities

Visa types

  • Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) - the only pre-travel authorization category for short tourist or business visits, single entry, valid for the approved trip dates, typically permitting a stay of up to 90 days, fee approx USD 35
  • Longer stays, work, or residence require a separate application through the Saint Kitts and Nevis Department of Immigration, not available as an ETA

How to apply online

  • Apply through the official ETA portal linked from gov.kn, providing a passport scan, photo, flight details and accommodation address
  • Pay the USD 35 fee online by card
  • Most approvals are issued within 72 hours, often the same day
  • The approval is emailed as a PDF to present with the passport at check-in and on arrival

Fees & processing time

  • ETA fee: approx USD 35, paid online by card, with no separate agency or VFS fee since it is a direct government portal
  • Standard processing: within 72 hours, frequently faster
  • No official expedited option is offered or needed given the already-short turnaround

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Apply at least a few days before departure to allow for the 72-hour processing window, especially with a tight connecting itinerary
  • Double check that the name and passport number entered match the passport exactly, as mismatches are the most common cause of delay or rejection
  • Since there is no Saint Kitts and Nevis consulate in Hong Kong, all support is handled via the ETA portal's online helpdesk
  • For stays beyond 90 days, contact the Department of Immigration in Basseterre directly before the ETA-covered period ends
