🇰🇳Saint Kitts and Nevis Visa for Indian Citizens2026 Requirements, Fees & Documents

eTA / e-permit90 days max stay

Indian passport holders need an approved eTA (electronic travel authorisation) before travelling to Saint Kitts and Nevis, but not a full visa.

Indian ordinary passport holders require an eTA to enter Saint Kitts and Nevis. India is NOT on the official visa-exempt schedule at the St. Kitts & Nevis High Commission London. SKN unilaterally waived visas for all Indian passport types (including ordinary) effective from its 2018 bilateral agreement (signed 16 February 2018, in force 9 October 2018); however, the formal agreement recorded by India's MEA only covers Diplomatic & Official/Service Passports (up to 90 days). For ordinary passport holders, India's MEA classifies SKN as 'Visa on Arrival' - but effective 26 May 2025, the eTA system replaced the prior entry mechanism. Wikipedia's visa policy of SKN (citing Timatic/IATA) places India in the 3-month eTA category. Apply via www.knatravelform.kn before departure. Fee: US$17.
