Kenya Immigration

Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA)

All visitors — including infants and children — who intend to travel to the Republic of Kenya must have an approved eTA before the start of their journey.

How It Works

A semi-automated travel clearance

The Kenya eTA is a semi-automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to Kenya, authorised by the Government of the Republic of Kenya. Holding an eTA is not the final authority to enter the country — admissibility is determined at the point of entry.

The application collects biographic information and eligibility answers from the traveller. Applications are usually processed within 3 days, with an urgent (expedited) service available — though we recommend applying at least 2 weeks before travel.
