    Visa to Kenya

    You do not need a visa but an entry permit to Kenya if you are traveling for tourism, business, family visits, study or work. The type of entry document you need depends on your nationality, how long you are going to stay and the purpose of the trip, among other things.

    At Alla Visum you can quickly and easily start your application for a visa to Kenya. Select the visa type, fill out the form, and upload the required documents. We review the documentation, help you through the process and make sure that your application is handled correctly before the trip.

    When do I need a visa for Kenya?

    Kenya has abolished the traditional visa requirement for most visitors and instead uses an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). UK citizens need to apply for an eTA before travelling to Kenya, including for tour, business and family trips. The application is made online before travel and must be approved before departure.

    An approved eTA entitles you to stay for up to 90 days per entry. For longer stays, work, study or other special purposes, additional permits or special visas may be required.

    An approved eTA does not guarantee entry. The final decision is always made by Kenyan immigration authorities upon arrival in Kenya.

    Note: The above information applies to Swedish passport holders. Other nationalities may have different requirements. Some travelers may need to apply for a visa in advance or provide additional documents when applying.

    Frequently asked questions about visas to Kenya

    Important information about visa application to Kenya

    Travelers to Kenya need to apply for an Electronic Entry Authorization (eTA) before departure. The application is made online and passport details, travel information and other documents must match the travel documents exactly. You should apply well in advance of your trip to avoid delays. Incorrect passport numbers, misspelled names or incorrect travel dates are common causes of problems when applying.

    Requirements vary depending on the purpose of the trip, but common documents are valid passport, completed application, passport photo if required, flight booking or travel confirmation, hotel reservation or proof of accommodation, financial documentation, invitation letter if relevant, vaccination certificate if required for your trip, as well as other documents that Kenyan authorities may request.

    All Visas offer assistance with visas and entry documents to Kenya. The price is displayed when you fill in your basic information and start your order.

    The passport should be valid for at least six months from the date of entry and contain at least one blank page for stamps. Damaged passports can lead to problems upon entry. Travellers with provisional or temporary passports should check the rules before departure.

    In some cases, the stay can be extended with Kenyan immigration authorities. The possibility of an extension depends on the type of permit you have, and the decision is always made by the authorities. Always check how long you can stay before your stay ends.

    The most common entry permits and visa types are eTA tourist trip, business eTA trip, student visa, work visa, transit visa and various long-term visas depending on the purpose of stay.
