BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, Jun 13, CMC – The St Kitts-Nevis government has issued an “urgent advisory” cautioning all travellers against unauthorised third-party websites and mobile applications falsely advertising Electronic Travel Authorizations (eTAs) or e-Visas for entry into the twin islad Federation.
The Ministry of National Security said that these unofficial platforms pose significant risks to personal security and travel validity and that travellers seeking authorisation to enter the country must exclusively use two government-operated channels.
It said these are the official portal at www.knatravelform.kn, which remains the sole source for Immigration/Customs ED Forms and eTAs; and the official mobile application “e-Border – St. Kitts & Nevis”, available for free download via the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).
“No other platforms are endorsed or recognised by the government of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The Ministry of National Security emphasises that unauthorised services, including websites or agents charging fees for “eTA processing,” “e-Visas,” or “expedited services”, are fraudulent and potentially dangerous.”
It said that these platforms may compromise personal and financial data through identity theft, impose exorbitant fake fees, and generate invalid travel documents that could result in entry denial.
The government said that using the official sites will guarantee “valid entry documentation, secures biometric data, and qualifies travellers for Fast-Track Arrival through the Biometric Corridor.
“Citizens and residents of St. Kitts and Nevis, OECS member states and CARICOM nations benefit from waived service charges. To ensure safety and compliance, travellers should bookmark only the official website and verify that the “Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis” is listed as the developer before downloading the app.”
Government launched the Saint Kitts and Nevis Electronic Border Management System (SKN e-Border), earlier this month which it said “modernises entry through contactless biometric corridors and digital authorisations. Its infrastructure meets international security standards and streamlines border processing”.
