How to get a Saint Kitts and Nevis ETA for United States citizens

Planning a tropical escape to Saint Kitts and Nevis? If you're a U.S. passport holder, you must check off a new digital travel requirement before sipping cocktails at the beachside. Here's what you need to know about the Saint Kitts and Nevis ETA, how to apply, and why travelers choose us to simplify the process.

Do U.S. citizens need a visa or ETA for Saint Kitts and Nevis?

Yes, as of May 2025, U.S. citizens need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) to enter Saint Kitts and Nevis. It's a quick and easy digital entry permit for tourism, short-term business, or family visits.

✈️ You do not need an ETA if you are simply transiting through Saint Kitts without leaving the airport.

What documents do U.S. travelers need to visit St Kitts and Nevis?

Make sure you have:

• A valid U.S. passport (with at least 6 months of validity and one blank page)
• A digital passport photo
• Proof of onward or return travel
• Your ETA QR code (save it on your phone or print it)

🔒 If your passport number changes after you apply, you must submit a new ETA application.

What is the ETA for Saint Kitts and Nevis?

The ETA is a single-entry travel authorization that allows visitors to stay in Saint Kitts and Nevis for up to 90 days or until your passport expires (whichever comes first).

This digital permit is linked to your passport and must be shown (along with a QR code) when checking in at the airport.

"I found out about the ETA rule from a Facebook group just before boarding my flight and almost missed it. iVisa's reminders and the fast-track option were a lifesaver at JFK," said Alisha, Illinois

Bonus: If you're applying through our app, you may qualify for Fast-Track Arrival via a biometric corridor starting June 2025 – a smooth, skip-the-line experience.

Who doesn’t need an ETA?

Not everyone needs one. The ETA is not required for:

• Citizens or residents of Saint Kitts and Nevis
• Nationals of OECS countries (like Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, and Grenada)
• Transit passengers who do not leave the airport
• Children under 2 (they're exempt from the fee, too)

This means most US citizens will need an ETA to visit Saint Kitts and Nevis.
