About eTA Single Entry to Kenya

The Kenya eTA Single Entry, officially called the Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), is an electronic travel authorization issued online by the Kenyan authorities. All travelers covered by the eTA requirement must have an approved eTA before traveling to Kenya.

The eTA is linked electronically to your passport. Upon approval, you will receive an electronic approval document to present upon check-in and upon arrival in Kenya. Although the eTA is electronic, sometimes the airline's check-in staff will want to see a printed copy of the approved document before boarding. We therefore recommend that you print out the approval and carry a paper copy with you throughout the journey.

Kenya eTA Single Entry is intended for tourism, vacation, sightseeing, as well as visiting family and friends. For tourist trips, a hotel reservation or other confirmation of accommodation is required. When visiting family or friends, a letter of invitation from the host in Kenya is required instead, as well as a copy of the host's ID or residence document.

The issued eTA is valid for entry within 90 days from the date of issue. After arrival, visitors can be granted a stay of up to 90 days. The final length of stay is always determined by the immigration authority upon entry.

The eTA may not be used for work, study, or residence in Kenya. For work, study, or residence, other types of permits are required from Kenya's immigration authorities. An approved eTA does not automatically grant entry eligibility; The final decision is always made by the border authority upon arrival.

You will need the following documents to apply:

• Completed visa application
• Copy of passport information page
• The passport must be valid at least 6 months after the date of entry
• Visa photo
• A round-trip ticket
• Booking confirmation for accommodation or invitation from host in Kenya

Kenya can change entry rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.
