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

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • A digital passport-size photo uploaded during the online application
  • Scanned copy of the passport bio-data page
  • Confirmed round-trip or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host address) in Saint Kitts and Nevis
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay may be requested
  • A valid email address and payment card for the online application

Visa types

  • Tourist ETA: single entry, valid for a stay of up to 90 days, fee approximately USD 40
  • Business ETA: similar validity, requires selecting "business" purpose and, in some cases, a supporting invitation letter
  • Longer stays, work, or the country's Citizenship by Investment program require separate applications through the relevant government department, not the online ETA
  • Transit passengers with a short layover may be exempt — check current transit rules before booking

How to apply online

  • Visit the official Saint Kitts and Nevis government ETA/e-visa portal
  • Complete the online form with passport details, travel dates, and accommodation information
  • Upload a digital passport photo and the bio-data page scan
  • Pay the ETA fee online (approx. USD 40)
  • Approval is typically emailed within 2-5 working days as a document to print or show digitally at check-in and on arrival
  • Verify all entered details match your passport exactly before submitting

Fees & processing time

  • ETA fee: approximately USD 40
  • No separate service fee when applying directly through the official government portal
  • Total estimated cost: USD 40-50 including incidental payment charges
  • Standard processing time: 2-5 working days
  • No official express option; apply at least a week before travel to allow for processing

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Apply only through the official government ETA portal to avoid inflated fees on third-party websites
  • Keep both a digital and printed copy of your approved ETA for airline check-in and immigration on arrival
  • Common rejection reasons include mismatched passport details and unclear accommodation information
  • Given the long distance and limited direct connections from Kenya, plan your itinerary and connecting flights carefully around your ETA validity window
  • Travel health insurance is recommended given the distance from home and limited local consular support
  • Check current requirements before travel, as small island nations periodically update their electronic entry systems
