All visitors who intend to travel to the Republic of Kenya must have an approved Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before the start of their journey. You can conveniently apply for the Kenya eVisa online on our website. We also offer the East Africa Tourist Visa, which allows travel between Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya without the need for separate visas.
The Kenya ETA is valid for 3 months from the date of issue and for single entry, except in the following case: If you visit Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania or Uganda during its 90-day validity period, you may re-enter Kenya. You will not need to apply for a new ETA.

*Nationals of the marked countries do not need an eTA for stays up to 60 days. If planning a longer trip, however, it will be necessary to obtain the online entry permit.
A Kenya Electronic Travel Authorisation can serve as a single-entry permit. The single-entry document is valid for 90 days, while the multiple-entry option for US nationals enables numerous entries to the country within a 5-year period.
The Kenyan government usually takes up to three working days to process the eTA (this period may be longer, as our experts must also check the applicant's details and documents).
Unexpected situations, such as maintenance on the official website, may also extend the waiting time.
To avoid delays, visitors are encouraged to apply for a Kenya eTA at least two weeks before travelling.
You no longer need to send your original passport. A clear scan or photo of the main passport page (showing your personal information and photo) is sufficient for the Kenya eTA application.
Please ensure that the entire page is visible, including the machine-readable strip at the bottom — no parts should be cropped out, as shown in the example below:

Once your Kenya eTA is approved, it will be sent to you by email.
Please print out the eTA and carry it with you when you travel.
Requirements vary slightly per category, but typically include:
Below you will find a sample of the Kenyan eTA, allowing you to see which details are included before starting the application process.

Once your visa is approved, we verify all details and send it to you via secure email.
